HaydnH Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Would it be possible to allow anonymous posts, maybe only in a select few forums? For example, I'm sure there's a few people on here that would like to comment on the current drink driving thread but wouldn't want to link the fact they've had a previous drink driving offence publicised just in case an insurer sees it when they're past the having to declare stage.

DoogyRev Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Thats a bad idea IMO, the forum could leave itself open to people posting things against other forum members etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnH Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 Thats a bad idea IMO, the forum could leave itself open to people posting things against other forum members etc.. True, I would suggest requiring anonymous posts to be approved by a mod like the for sale section, but I'm aware that can't be done without requiring every post to require approval.

If they are past the having to declare it stage why would they need to post anonymously? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonk Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Not sure if I agree with anonymous posts. Any way what's wrong with the good old fashioned "a friend of a friend..........." ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 How do we deal with those who abuse/misuse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 If you have something to say have the courage to post it instead if hiding... If not keep quiet That wasn't personal just talking in general... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Simply put.....no. It's a terrible idea. (sorry, don't mean to sound so harsh, but you wouldn't be the one dealing with the fallout and trying to moderate it). It would be impossible to moderate and would open up a whole word of possible abuse towards members. Imagine when the information got out.....how many Trolls would we get signing up to just cause trouble? We have many of our own loved keyboard warriors as it is, without inviting a whole world of them here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iv'e changed my mind I think it would be a GREAT idea Just kidding, despite what some of us think and say sometimes you have to admit this is one of the best forums you will ever be a part of :no1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leonk Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 My moto is that I wouldn't post anything on here that I wouldn't say to their face, the inland revenue, or would not be happy to rely on as evidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
