I think we all concur that this is a good idea

BUT: Mods would be able to tell who it is? So that there aren't a load of stupid threads etc...

Only admins should be allowed to see

I like this idea. Hopefully it will get put into place.

[--ss--]

What would happen to the post count off anonymous threads as would it show up in the all posts by user search anyway if it were to count as an post?

[Favourtism]

Yes but if someone has a relaly bad problem and they dont want others to know then they would go to ANOTHER forum.

Yeah just goto teenhelp.org xox

Exaclty, i dont see it as something we need, honestly if you feel unsure of posting on HabboxForum then simply dont and use another forum..

Agreed.

Yeah its a plugin, i disagree as like the forum says specially the gay

"Dont post if you dont feel comfortable for people knowing" go else where..

Yes but the whole point is that if the feature is used people wont feel uncomfortable, it'll make more discussion, it'll rise statistics of the forum, people will get the help they want; everyones happy.

Agreed.

I strongly advise against any of you two starting up your own sites; the whole point of it is that the majority needs to be catered for, there are no major disadvantages to the idea, but there are manier great advantages. People don't want to be told to go to so and so's forum to get help for this and that. Teenhelp is probably full of forums about people with health issues. If people were able to post their issues here anonymously it'd be a unique thread and different from the usual content, and this forum is full of people in the teen age range, meaning experiences can be shared etc.

It'll be abused to make joke threads. There is no way that on a forum like this with a load of pre-pubescent kids you can possibly expect anonymous posting to be easily regulated/moderated and people will be able to get away with anything because they're hidden.

Fabulous idea!
Get it done. ;D

On alot of VBulletin forums I use, they now have an option for users to post anonymously in Health and teen life sections.

It's easily done from what I've seen. When you post a new post using the advanced posting box, in the top right it currently says "Logged in as USERNAMEHERE" ... When anonymous is availible it'd give you a check box to tick to post anonymous.

I think it'd be a brilliant idea for the health forums and if people take advantage of it, admins are able to see who the original poster is.

By doing this people don't have to feel embarresed about posting health problems or teen situations and can do it without hassle.

So, what do you think?

Are you on about The Student Room? If so, i'm a regular on there!

It would be nice to see it on hxf, but no doubt it would be abused.
