Suggestion for a new DU Group or Forum?

[Orrex]

I don't know if this would be feasible, but a recent discussion on a non-DU forum got me thinking about it. Would it be possible to have a group in which the poster of an OP can opt to post anonymously? Normal TOS would apply, of course, but it would enable someone to solicit advice on personal matters without necessarily exposing an uncomfortable truth about oneself.

Would such a Group or Forum be worthwhile?

1. Interesting. The Confession Group.

I like the idea, but I don't think the admin would go for it. Couldn't hurt to try, though. I know the cabability to post anonymously is there. The DU moderators use it all the time.

2. Did you see the Temporary Sockpuppet thread?

It went badly. Really, really badly. :scared:

3. That might be remedied by

having people who reply to anonymous threads post in their usual screen names.

5. That's kind of how I envisioned it

The initiator of a thread could opt to post it anonymously, but replies would be posted normally, with actual screen-names.

Again, I have no idea of the feasibility...


And I've never heard of the Temporary Sockpuppet thread, FWIW

4. It would be, er, entertaining, to say the least.

I'm pretty sure admin/mods would NOT go for it--Temporary Sockpuppet, anyone?--but the sadistic side of me wants to see it enacted.

I wouldn't hold your breath, though. ;)

In hope of gaining further insight...

7. How would we build our ignore list if that were allowed?

8. Simple--I just ignore everyone

Especially you, whoever you are. :evilgrin:
