That includes TOPIC STARTERS as well as PARTICIPANTS in the various topics.
FIRST, LET ME MAKE CLEAR: I promise I will never expose or mini-Dox* anyone who has a legit need for privacy, discreetness due to a sensitive topic. That includes everyone who posts in the whole thread.
HOWEVER, HERE IS MY WARNING:
I have moved several topics OUT of the Anonymous forum in the past week. The software keeps the "anonymous" label on all the posts that were made anonymously.
HOWEVER, the information is still there in the database, so that I could write a script in the future, run it, and it would process ALL of these moved threads so that all the participants' true CathInfo identities show up for the whole world to see.
I make no promise I won't write such a script. In fact, I plan to. I just need a couple hours of free time.
You have been warned.
So if you're posting in a thread that you think doesn't belong there -- only post if you wouldn't mind posting with your CI identity.
But if the thread is about sensitive topics -- health, friendship, relationships, marriage, past life, whistleblowing, etc. -- things that legitimately require some discretion and privacy -- you have nothing to worry about. Those things are what the Anonymous subforum is for.
Keep in mind that CathInfo usernames are already pseudonymous, or near-anonymous.
* Doxxing is linking a person's real name, address, place of employment, etc. to an online screen name.
But what I'm talking about doing is linking someone's pseudonymous, practically anonymous screen name to an even more anonymous post. Not exactly the same thing...
