Users posts

A good idea also, on another forum I visit, is if people want their accounts deactivating and anonymising, they change the user's username to their forum ID number, this way, they're still identifiable as the same person, but don't carry an alias that can be easily connected to say... a facebook account or other forum accounts around the internet.

I don't know I kinda agree and kinda don't

Like if you become famous people aren't exactly gonna know your hxf name and check posts, and most likely habbox will be long dead before you become famous

I'd also hate to look at an old thread and see 28 anonymous people replying to each other, and if this became possible, every banned member would want the stuff deleted and that would ultimately screw with bans as all 'evidence' is gone as it won't link to you

But also see where you're coming from as alot of people act less mature on here due to it just being the Internet and never going to effect you irl.

This is why I think it would be difficult to put this plan into motion.

Presently, if a VIP member wishes to do this, they need only request a name change here. That would, in theory, give them all the anonymity they should need.

I know, but I think it'd be nice if normal users were given this option for free.

Even if you get a name change, you still have people naming you in posts and content in posts which could link you though.

It's a lot more obscure though.

Oh, with VM's I 100% agree with you It's stupid how you can't delete another users VM that's on your profile.

I thought you currently can do this? I've deleted a vm before, but it was a year back i think.

This is why I think it would be difficult to put this plan into motion.

Same here, if i'm understanding this right, then i don't support this for the same reason as david. It doesn't really seem neccesary and would make lots of annoying anonymous posts in the future.

I mean it's very unlikely that somebody is gona stalk your life all the way back to hxf, and even if they did who really cares? I wouldn't. If they brought up an embarrasing post i made then i'd just say that i was young and it has no relevance to me now.
