anonymous

What's the point of this me? I know it should probably be obvious to me, but I just don't get it.

You don't need it, that's why you don't get it. When You need it, you'll understand and you'll know what to do.

How anonymous would you be if you had to ask someone for the password?

No, I don't so. It was a typo in the first place anyway. Shoulda been "username."

Why would I ask for anyone for their password? It's a breach of security.

It's just a community resource Draxxie. It's been used for humourous stuff and it's been used for serious stuff. For example: someone wanted to post nsfw pics of themselves but didn't want their name on them; so they used the anon login. Someone wanted to express despair and the fact that they were contemplating something drastic, but didn't want that tagged to their Cellar identity: so they used anon. Someone else was having marital issues and didn't particularly want that known about them ... but nonetheless wanted our advice. So the Anon handle was useful for them.

What's the worst that can happen with the anon username? Well, i suppose someone could use it to try and cause a shitstorm ... or to post stuff that isn't true ... but anyone can do that anyway, they don't need the anon handle for that. We all know that Anonymous could be anyone, so we're fairly wise to those possibilities.

In addition to the uses described above, the Anon username can be useful in other ways too. Nutkin reckoned he could guess ages from hands; and to test that out suggested people post pics of their hands anonymously. I think that's pretty cool. It allows agreed and expected anonymity for all kinds of things.

The majority of dwellars aren't really interested in trouble for trouble's sake ... why should we organise ourselves as if they were? It's just a username anyone can use; it' s not like they can break the Cellar with it.

I still want to know the password for Pilau. There have been occasions when I wanted it.
