It's very difficult to track long threads when everyone is posting as Anonymous.

I mean, if you want to remain anonymous, this is the interwebz, it's really easy to do. Create a fake gmail account, use that to register, voila, anonymity without all the post confusion.

Ah but then you couldn't troll. You would contradict yourself across threads.

It's a feature, not a bug.

No thanks, way too much work.

+1. This is how it works on DCUM.

Cause not everyone cares to get freaky in the explicit forum.

Things got ugly a few years ago, and someone was allegedly doxed, which is why you're now required to have a username to post in the explicit section. Explicit proceeded to languish, and lots of regular posters disappeared (but probably still linger here).

If you post w a user name you clearly signed up for the sex forum.

Anonymity is the main selling point of DCUM. You must be new here.

I love the anonymity. The explicit forum used to be fun until they made you register.

DCUM is too comprehensive to retain anonymity with an alias. While an alias would work on a single discussion, when you combine posts from the same alias from Real Estate, Education, Travel, etc., could end up making identification fairly simple.

If I was worried about identification, it would dramatically limit my posts. I certainly don't want it to impact my kids in any way. I feel much more comfortable asking DCUM for help and trying to help others when anonymity is assured.

I think anonymity is one of the best features of DCUM. As for following long threads, occasionally (when it seems relevant), I'll identify myself as a previous poster on that thread with the date and time of my previous post.

Clearly you are new, OP.

One of the benefits is anonymity. However no one is ever truly anonymous. Unless they have super powers or magic skills.
