[lolwatever]

:sl:

I noticed it, and you didn't explain it properly either.:rollseyes

Let's say lolwatever started a thread as anon (not using the anon account but his own account) and his last post was as anon. Then if I click his username and view his profile it will show that his last post was in that thread, then if you click the thread name it takes you straight to his post, which was posted as anon!

And then the privacy is lost. :X

so, better sign in wid the "ANONYMOUS" a/c ?

:sl:

but that's too much work...log off, log in as anon...and then again log off, log in to post as you...and then again log off..and log in as anon to answer ay questns...then again log off...and log in as you...that's a tiring journey *phew*

:w:

[The Ruler]

then better, make another post, as soon as u post as anon gender.

good idea...for the first time in...hmmm...how long?...i forget

I can't spell anonymous so I just stick with my own name. At least I have that written down in front of me so I don't forget it, too often.

There's also another loophole with the anon account - it can be abused heavily and not be punished.

:sl:

Me too. :hiding: I had to go to the thread that gives the user name and password and copy the user name from there.:rollseyes

Anyway, shouldn't there be a warning about this loophole? I mean seriously... the number of times I've accidentally busted people posting as anon, its not funny. :X

how can u 'accidently' bust ppl :offended:

[Malaikah]

:sl:

Why not? Look at someone's profile, click on their last post not knowing it was as anon, discover it was as anon, then just go "woops". :X

I can't pretend to be anonymous...i'm not good at it. I think ppl would know that it is me. :-[

Actually mods.. just leave the loophole active with zAkiyyah... its really useful 2 identify zAk's anon posts labelling others gurls in the bro section:happy:

i managed 2 bust one already :statisfie

:w:

[aamirsaab]

not really.

I meant that you can perform certain punishable offences that would be worthy of say a banning under anon account and not get banned.

^I thought they can track the IP address of the anon if they misbehaved or something?:?

[al_faaris574]

:sl:

But even then, not everyones IP addresses are Unique, a lot of people will share IP addresses, i.e. if they're living in the same area.

:w:

[Malaikah]

^Do you mean if they share a computer?:?

[Tania]

I saw the IP addresses of the school computers and in the end they are different. When we log in the site, this computers ip appears or our net company address :?

[waji]

:sl:

remember every computer connected to internet always have a unique IP address

Greetings and peace to all the anons, and not so anons;

I have found the anons in the cyber counselling forum confusing. It is sometimes difficult to know who or what you are replying to when there are two or three different anons in the same thread.

I would prefer it if no one called themselves anon. They could still be anonymous if they called themselves, ‘George’ ‘bush’ ‘shrub’ or ‘tree’

Unless of course they where the real George Shrub :D
