Hooray! I like this statement of policy. The internet IS anonymity, anyway. Who cares if a mod viewed your shit?

Mapleafan anyone?

Wahey, I'm glad. I still think the anonymous posting feature should be removed from DTRM, though.

Clearly breached the code of usage/moderation outlined in the announcement by telling someone in real life the identity of an anonymous user which then created problems for said person. And was demoted.

Very black and white...

So if someone posts something like 'I'm a girl' as anonymous, or something else that really obviously does NOT need to be anon., we can report that?

Faith is a cop-out. If the only way you can accept
an assertion is by faith, then you are conceding that
it can't be taken on its own merits.

In theory, the mods will never tell who the psoter is. But I know for a fact, that this si not always the case.

The last instance I was aware of, the mod was demoted.

Lol. That was me!

Well..it's not formal warning offence, obviously. It'd depend on the nature of the abuse. If it's just spammy, then the post'll be trashed (cumulative offences reaching informal warning, etc.). If it's abusive/slanderous, then it'll obviously climb up the scale faster.

Depends. 99% of transgressions don't have formally set out "consequences". Mod discretion and all that jazz.

But we'll be trashing topics for infractions...  

  There's no risk of information being leaked - the user doesn't have to repost. And if we're wrong and there's a good reason (and we'll always err on the side of caution), we'll put it back up :)

 

 But if you remove it when it first hits the fresh topics, the person who needs help won't get any help at all. If it was silly enough to be removed by error, it wouldn't be able to go into eHelp then. A repost of it would be considered spam.  

 So basically, the person is screwed.

There's nothing stopping a person reposting a topic in eHelp - the kinds of help are very different and SLs should not trash eHelps for being similar to existing topics.

Then there's the fact that they can always make a new anonymous topic if the showing-up-in-fresh topics thing is particularly important.

The person is in no way screwed...

You're saying an eHelp saying, "How do you make popcorn?" would not be removed? And you're also saying that the user wouldn't be penalized for making a duplicate topic?

i haven't seen this enforced anywhere close to as much as implied in the OP. i don't even get the point of posting this if nobody's gonna be changing their attitudes on anonymous posts

Those already are, and will continue to be, removed.

And you're also saying that the user wouldn't be penalized for making a duplicate topic?

There are some cases in which we allow people to re-make topics that were trashed.
