Anonymous Posting. Options

[*Monochrome.*]

Well as I was looking through Mod.Preformance thread.I noticed theres alot of fighting and bickering in there.Now sometimes because of this reason Members feel that they need to make a different account just that they can get their point across without having to reveal who they are,So that it wont look likethey have a personal problem the mod they are critiqing on.

However,With power to IP track identitys become Revealed and then more problems arise.

My Idea is to have a anonymous post ability where it cannot be IP tracked unless they are member bashing, or spaming or whatever.

What do you think?

Just for the record, if someone gives me valid criticism in Mod Preview, I'll take it, address it, and either move on or adapt. No one needs to be afraid. I would also point out that (I'm alomst certain) every single member of staff has said at on epoint or another that they welcome criticism. So if people are afraid, or nervous, or whatever, there is precisely NO reason for this. The only time people will be short with them is if they are making unfair, ungrounded, or personal remarks.

As long as criticism is constructive, that is what the thread is there for.

Alright James, well just to give you an understanding of how you treated me when I DID decide to talk about something with you:

I said:

"Thank you...

You have to understand why I'm skeptical though... it just seems to convenient for you to come out of no-where thinking it was a great idea as soon as Ju-sun came in posting his thoughts. I guess you really give me the impression that you out of your way to disagree with me in every way you possibly can. It's as if it benefits you to think it's a great idea all of the sudden because Ju-sun might see your post.

If you're just disagreeing with the things that I post because you don't like me then I would rather you keep your comments to yourself... w/e it just disappoints me that you're so supportive as soon as Ju-sun comes on back, and when he's not around it seems as if you're just a bitter jerk to me. It just makes you look fake to me."

I truely felt my comments were constructive. I felt a certain way, I expressed it without without tearing you down, and I ended it with a solution ("If you're just disagreeing with the things that I post because you don't like me then I would rather you keep your comments to yourself".)

You responded telling me to "grow up" and ended your response telling me "You're not that interesting." No offense, but the way you replied to me is exacly the reason people are afraid to speak up.

See, I read that PM and it comes off as personal to me. (And no, I'm not siding with anyone here, just saying what my initial reaction is after reading that post). That's not to say how James responded was the best way of communicating either.

BUT, that type of response isn't really moderator feedback, it's James feedback. Meaning, you were put off by him agreeing with you because you felt it was in conjuction with the site creator's return. That has nothing to do with his job as a moderator here.

Just my opinion.

I understand what you are trying to relate here, Josh. I just don't think that was a good example.
