Poll: should Oath remove the Anonymous feature now that they're improving this site?

Answer 1

Many people would cease using Y.A. if we were not allowed to be anonymous on some occasions. Some things we need to ask are too personal for us to want to be recognised.

Answer 2

No. As an avid user of the anonymous feature myself I don't think they should remove it. Plus some people on here use their real names or photos, and they might have a genuine question but not want to ask it publicly where people would see their name and/or photo (for example an embarrassing medical question, or a question about personal troubles), in which they would want to use the anonymous feature. Trolls would find ways around it anyway, by either creating other accounts to post questions they want to be anonymous, or by making their accounts private (which a lot of people do anyway) so it wouldn't stop the trolls. What they should do instead is improve the reporting system and take down the troll questions (anonymous or not) instead of blocking all users from going anonymous.

Answer 3

No. But there could be bad people out there trying to get your information. They could be a raper so never tell them private stuff

Answer 4

They should do what they feel

Answer 5

Some people would stop using the site if they could not use the anonymous feature. I would use it far less if that choice were taken away from us because I, sometimes, feel that I need that feature. I use the site far less than I used to anyway but, sometimes, I wish to ask or answer something but don't want it to be known that a certain answer was from me. Being anonymous as and when we wish to be means that some people on here who know us personally cannot follow everything we say - which is how it should be i.m.o.

Answer 6

Why do you care? 😄

It's everyones right to go anonymous. And not fair for you to drag everyone anon out if they don't want to come out.

Also the anon feature was implemented everywhere since a law passed making it legal to avoid cyber bullying, etc.

I cared about it too when I was harassed by the dirty Mexicans? Now? It actually saved my accounts from being maliciously targeted from FALSE REPORTS THAT I KNOW ALL OF YOU PARTICIPATED IN.

Answer 7

They should at least limit anonymous to
5 answers a day
3 questions a day

Answer 8

YES YES YES YES THEY SURE SHOULD...IT ALLOWS trouble makers to hide while harassing others which stinks.

Answer 9

I don't mind the anon feature. It's the question moving that f*cking gets me.

Answer 10

My opinion is they should,
but isn't giving our opinion considered 'chat' and therefore a violation?
