Comments

[(Anonymous)]

it pretty true though

for instance, dethtoll gets away with a lot pf shit that wouldn't fly if he were anon

[(Anonymous)]

Chard too. Not to mention all that happens when more than one anon expresses concern someone claims that it is all the same anon.

Maybe we should drop the mixed commenting. I'm in favour of that.

[(Anonymous)]

I am highly not in favor of that.

[(Anonymous)]

f!s has been inching towards anon commenting for awhile now.

Compared to a couple of years back, the climate's too harsh for most people to feel comfortable commenting with an account. We might as well put us all on equal footing.

[(Anonymous)]

Were you not here in the LJ days? Because holy shit.

[(Anonymous)]

but anyone who's worried about not being on an equal footing can already choose to go anon

[(Anonymous)]

But anon don't you see? When you're anon, you can be harassed and stalked and nothing can be done about it! I mean I know that doesn't make sense because, well, you're anon, so it's not like people can ACTUALLY follow you around, but it's seriously a big problem.

[(Anonymous)]

Not every anon has the opportunity to create an account. There are many reasons not to. As long as there is a preferential system, then that discriminates against people who have to comment anon or not comment at all. On the other hand, nothing prevents named users from just going anon other than loss of privilege and status. It would be fairer just to do away with named commenting and keep everyone as an anon and have their comments stand by themselves without privilege or clique.

I'm sorry I can't hear your bellyaching over all this stuff I'm getting away with

[fingalsanteater]

lmao <3

[(Anonymous)]

also why are gif icons okay when gif secrets are linked

[case]

The gif secrets were linked due to a request from a person with epilepsy/seizures. People did have gif icons at the time, but they weren't mentioned (I think the smaller size made them easier to ignore, while the big secrets kind of popped up as soon as they opened the post)

[(Anonymous)]

You do realize that people who genuinely have epilepsy alter the settings on their computer to avoid seeing triggering images. That was another concern troll getting the rules changed to create more trouble. You were had, Case.

[case]

Maybe! It was an old rule from like 5 years ago, and nobody's complained about it until now.

Anyone with experience care to weigh in?

[(Anonymous)]

And oh, the trouble they caused! It was very, very serious.

[(Anonymous)]

I do think there's this frustrating dynamic where, when a named user has had to deal with stalk-y hater anon, it becomes harder to criticize them for being dumb when they are dumb.

[(Anonymous)]

I would blame the stalky anon more than the user there, I can understand why they'd be on the defensive if someone is stalking them

[(Anonymous)]

Oh absolutely, I'm just saying the dynamic can get frustrating at times

[(Anonymous)]

Besides jaybie's case, it's pretty obvious that it's multiple anons fed up with a user's bullshit. They've just made it seem like it's just one anon because that's how they win argumenting, by dismissing every complaint as a dumb stalker anon.

[(Anonymous)]

Being one voice among many who are critical and fed up of the behavior of some logged in users, I can vouch for this.

+1

[(Anonymous)]

This. Even with Jaybie it was obvious there were more than one anon.

[(Anonymous)]

The worst part is when a logged in user makes a comment, then there are three or four comments immediately after them with the exact same syntax agreeing. Logged in users abuse the hell out of the anon system to make it look like they have more support than they do.

[(Anonymous)]

How is it better if a group of anons is going around harassing a user and telling them to die? Isn't that worse?

[caerbannog]

I will have to agree with the latter comments on anons being dismissed easily, some of the reason I went ~full named~ was because it was so frustrating for all my comments to be dismissed out of hand or ignored because I was anon. I just wanted to participate in discussions!

(This was a few years back right after some ridiculous anti-anon drama and you couldn't have a single discussion without certain users jumping to the "you're an anon so I don't need to believe anything you say" defence. Which is stupid, useless bunk.)

Even now remembering it is frustrating.

Anons are awesome. Keep on keep on-ing.

[(Anonymous)]

Hm, That's actually true.
