The Anonymous forum is still moderated, you know. In fact, the exact same standards are enforced as on the rest of the forum.

Allowed/intended purpose:
"My wife is extremely distant and I think she's cheating on me. What should I do?"
"I am having temptations against the Faith. What should I do?"
"Do you know any good home remedies for (insert health condition here)?"
"My SSPX chapel brought in a Conciliar priest today to say Mass. Has anyone else experienced this?"

See, there's nothing in the above content that's against the rules. However, it's extremely sensitive, so I could understand a user not wanting to post with his own name when contributing such posts.

Abuse of the Anonymous forum -- posts that will be moderated and/or the user permanently banned:

"Y'all suck! And you don't know who I am, so you can't even downthumb me! Bwahaha!"
"Ok you (expletive) Jew. Get the hell out of here!"
"I think all the women on here stink! And I won't let you know who I am either!"
"Should we ban (insert username here)? I think he's the bane of the forum!"
"I think Hitler should be canonized." (posted in the Anonymous forum, due to its unpopularity and to stave off downvotes)

In conclusion, it's NOT ROCKET SCIENCE. There's not even a grey area. It's always black and white, at least for someone who understands basic rules. If you're using the Anonymity as a cloak for malice, it's abuse. If it's to protect your good name (NOT your CI rep score) and/or LEGITIMATELY prevent embarrassment, it's OK.

If there is a grey area, it's the "unpopularity" clause. But let's put it this way -- I reserve the right AT ANY TIME to put your name to whatever "unpopular opinion" you post in Anonymous. I will never embarrass anyone over a legitimate issue (health, family issue, marital issue, spiritual issue, various sufferings, anonymous whistleblowing, etc.

YOU KNOW when you're abusing the subforum. And so do I. In short, I can moderate the post, unmask the poster, ban the user -- OR ALL THREE. It's up to me. You take that risk Every. Single. Time. you post in this subforum.

CathInfo is a moderated forum. Including the Anonymous subforum. No part of the forum is a free-for-all.

Thank you,  Matthew for all your efforts to keep the forum going well!
