    Remain anonymous? On THIS forum?

    Too late for some of us I know , but there are "lurkers" out there. The nasty comments that I was talking about, were given to a freind by PM. They have their online name, but this person has been on the forum for over 6 months, doesn't have any profile information and have never posted anything.

    Well, it must be nice to never have felt threatened, nervous or intimidated in a new environment, or never to have received a nasty anonymous message. Good for you.

    I have, on both counts. It's not fun.

    But if you've just joined, you might want to test the waters before paying-up. And why should those people be vulnerable?

    I may be wrong ( ) or "less informed about the subject" ( ) <as if > but I thought we were talking about REP comments here?

    But I agree, that's horrid. If it's really that nasty, your friend should forward the PM to a moderator.

    Blimey, DJ! You're getting a bit emotional here. Sorry to have hit a raw nerve.

    I'm a grown-up. I'm often in new "threatening environments". I have to cope (like everyone does).

    However, if someone happened to send me a nasty anonymous message, you can bet your bottom dollar that they wouldn't EVER do it again...

    While I won't use negative rep to complain about a swear word, I think that there's a time and a place for swearing, and on the forum it's rarely the time, and seldom the place.

    I was trying to point out that when you're a silver member, you still only get to see their online nickname. If their profile is blank, then they're still anonymous.

    I know of one person who's received such a communication, just recently, and it upset them.
    I think there are two separate issues getting confused here. If someone gives you negative rep, and you are upset because you don't think the negative rep was justified, then I would agree that:

    However, if someone uses the negative rep system to send a nasty and abusive comment that would be unacceptable even without the negative rep, (e.g. it would be abusive if received as a PM), then I think it's completely justifiable for the moderators and/or Franck to get involved.

    David,

    If a message is that bad and threatening, and I didn't know from whom it came, I would immediately forward it to Franck, where I know it would be dealt with appropriately.

    However (and remember, it's hard to be anonymous on here), if I had an idea of who it was, though....

    Hope this helps clarify matters.

    My point was that if I found random swearing rude (which I do), that could have offended me, as it was crude and pretty pointless. I dont think there is a need for it at all. It is unnecessary to use so many swear words in my opinion, blimey if everyone swore everytime they wrote a post there would be swear words all over the place.

    Of course, if you were shy or a little unconfident, it's not terribly likely you would have posted "FU5K OF*" in the middle of a thread, is it?

    i didn't post Fu5k off in the middle of a thread i asked if you really want to know where the fu5k off option was on a poll. Anyway, bored with talking about this now.

    On a lighter note... i must say, i had had a lot more positive rep and only one neg rep so cant be doing too bad.

    And David i suggest you start repping all ya little neg reps as there is little fu5k off all over the place.

    I'm not the only person who gives unsigned rep comments. Just the most loveable.
