New forum function - posting anonymously, as Anonymous

they already made something similar in ow2 game play,. so.

I have consumed many likes. Brakkarion gonna be lookin’ like Themberchaud after this thread is done.

My only regret is that the OP is likely going to try and burn their own thread down so all the views/likes get blipped out of existence.

But would you have a unique name? You mention it would change it, but would nelfas become user5150? Or user717?

Or just “Anonymous?”

It would have to be the latter to embrace true unidentifiable anonymity.

I’m just curious about the details of the desire to post anonymously. Sometimes those are more interesting to me because that’s where the devil likes to hide. And hide and seek is a simple-mind’s pleasure from time to time :upside_down_face:

Will you have unlimited Anonymous “toons” or just one per account?

I’m betting this will not be addressed by the sock puppet brigade.

No not really. You’ve alluded to that people that don’t agree with you are harassing you. And by alluding I mean you pretty much out right stated it.

Wow, some unkindness being thrown at you first thing in the morning. Sorry dear :people_hugging: don’t worry I’ve read most of this thread and you’ve only lost it twice. Not bad in my book. Still don’t agree and think it’s a bad idea, but you’re allowed to bring it up.

That’s gameplay though, not a forum, that has no bearing on anything at all.

Your argument about anonymous message boards without subscriptions? Well, comparing a message board to in-game chat is even less relevant. Or does logic not apply to you if it doesn’t fit your story?

anonymous posting is a great idea for most people. Many would like to have this an option . it would be optional.

Yeah, see, these are the questions I’m interested in. The mechanics that create and perpetuate anonymity so we can better understand where they’re coming from.

Amusingly (to me), if they were anonymously posting and had unlimited characters named “anonymous” with which to do so, our ability to find meaningful consensus may be greatly diminished. Heck, one could even undermine their own OP by posting contrarian responses to meld the flow of discussion.

You can’t make this claim.

Forums are more or less all-or-nothing. OW/Diablo/HotS, all those forums use BTag posting. WoW is the only outlier. Also, you keep repeating the same line doesn’t make it true.

Anyways, I’ma take a nap, this copy-paste broken record is tiring.

I don’t know, we are already posting anonymously and it is pretty great.

you can, thee is a way to check profile despite being set as private. Anonymous posting would prevent that.

I tried being polite and asked for actual discussion.

Hey wait a minute… op never did answer my questions.

Yeah you’ve stated that multiple times… It will never happen on the forums. The most cost effective solution for them would be to implement bnet posting like they do on all of their other games. It would also make it so all of their forums were exactly alike. At this point I’m pretty much done with you directly. You’re nothing more than a troll.

If everyone was posting anonymously without any way to confirm they were unique perspectives, how could one prove this? If we could prove there were many different folks posting anonymously, then it’s not true anonymity, right?

And I write that knowing I don’t mind your opinions. You seem like a cool, level-headed person.

I’m having the same problem with no answers to my questions.

Because they’re trolling.

sketchy. WoW forums if they wanted they would have already implemented b-tags. We do not need this.
