Re: Where the old people at?

[(Anonymous)]

Well, strictly speaking, yes, but more and more people on DW, LJ and AO3 make it clear that anon comments are unwelcome, often assimilating anonymous comments to trolling. Dismissive replies if not outright statements about how anon comments make them feel uneasy or irritate them are clear indicators...

After getting the bum rush when leaving complimentary comments on a fic, one learns to shut up real fast.

Also note that both LJ and DW allow users to close journals to anon comments (to prevent spamming and trolling) and I have noticed over the past year that more and more people take advantage of such features. It's understandable - for security reasons and spam for instance, but means that anon participation is slowly disappearing.

AO3 also allows users to prevent anon commenting: authors who mark their stories as visible only to logged in users are in effect preventing anon commenting or leaving of kudos.

What I find hilarious by the way, is that more people than you'd think simultaneously close their journals to anon commenting AND complain about not getting enough feedback anymore. Some of them seem genuinely confused about this and have no clue about the correlation between these two facts!

I can think of at least half a dozen such BNFs off the top of my head, and would estimate their number to be between 10 to 20% of all fandom - based on no evidence other than my gut feelings, developed over lots of years spent in various fandom.

Hm, that's interesting. I don't remember off the top of my head if my flist disabled anon comments or not, but I have anon comments enabled and ip logging on. I'm not closing anon comments unless I get trolled hard, but there's no guarantee not anon users won't troll either.
