I get confused when more than one “anonymous” contributes to the same thread, especially if it turns out to be a long and involved thread.

I cannot define if the anonymous in one thread with family problems is the same as the one with study problems, or faith problems or girlfriend problems in other threads.

I think this is so important to try and understand the overall complexities of a person when replying to them.

There are millions of anonymous names that can be used of flowers, birds, animals etc. people wishing to remain incognito do not have to disclose the town or country they live in.

So is there any way people can stop calling themselves anonymous, and get an anonymous alias instead.

I would also like to thank all the mods and admin here for making this a friendly and informative forum.

Blessings and peace be with you all

Eric
 
I agree.. many times anon just gets abused..
I have been reading an onslaught of very inappropriate threads and posts, ranging any where from i's it ok to smoke weed', to is it ok committing white collar fraud to deserving non-muslims...

I don't want to get preachy.. if you feel that it is bad enough that you need to hide your identity from people, don't you feel at all any shame not hiding it from Allah swt who sees you all the time?

Anyhow more important than the anon thing is the ability of newbies to post images.. I am so sick of finding porn here on an Islamic forum, that I recommend to my 8 and 11 year old nieces and nephews.. that feature needs to be disabled until one has at least 5-10 posts.. I really don't think that, that is an unreasonable request.. I know some forums that need 24-48 hours for posts to be approved by a mod.. I know it is important to be nice, but it is also more important to uphold the morals of Islam!

i agree completely - except i would make it 50-100 before allowing them to post images.
 
The problem with posting images is that images are posted via ink, so can they actually stop it?

You obviously must have missed it. Unfortunately, not all of us did.

People make a new account and spam the forum with porn, it just happened a few hours ago.
 
:salamext:

That's sick. I thought mods had banned links to those sort of sites?
 
:sl:

The thing is though people can download pics and upload them almost anywhere, such as ImageShack picoodle etc etc, and if were to ban sites like that it would literally mean all pictures. :(

I think that it would be a good idea that members with less than 20 posts can not post links or images at all! Insha'Allah

Assalamualaykum

PEOPLE GOING OFF TOPIC!!!!

I agree with you Brother Eric :D

Assalamualaykum
*KB*
:coolious:
 
sorry to go off topic one more time, but if anyone sees porn on here, i've found it works pretty well to see which mods are on and the PM them.
works much better than report bad post.

The one overwhelming arguement, but it almost means that everyone of us should declare our full names and address.

Thanks for all the comments so far, I did not realise porn had entered this forum, but I am sure it is cleaned up when the mods. hear about it.

Anyway, is there any chance of doing away with the anonymous accounts simply for some clarity for the rest of us.

In the spirit of being unable to hide from God,

Eric

Personally I don't have a problem with the anon account and I find it pretty unlikely that people are posting multiple threads using the anon account...
 
i ditto bro eric..

i like many here, get confused..i think the anons themselves get confused..lol...

i usually tune out of the thread and dont feel like bothering to work out who is who and what is what...so these people are missing out on 'sumeyye help':P

we'll see what happens..
 
Greetings and peace to all the anons out there,

Do you have any further comments, is anon really the only way to post?

In the spirit of searching for a peace that surpasses all understanding,

Eric
 
:salamext:

Sometimes, if you need advice, you post from the anonymous account because otherwise people will judge you...
