Staying Anonymous on the Forums

Offline people are way worse than the people I have encountered online.

Agreed! With few exceptions, everyone I've met on Literotica has been great.

Why did you feel the need to post a PSA?

When my class read that paper, everyone (including me) was surprised to learn how two or three innocent bits of information can very easily be combined to identify one unique individual. It's something that I don't think many people are aware of. I thought it would be helpful to share for those who have a desire to maintain their privacy.

Other people on Literotica have been very good to me, answering my questions and sharing their expertise. I guess I wanted to return the favor.

That was nice of you. Sadly I overshare. No, not sadly. It is just who I am.
 
you are never truly anonymous on a public forum. there is a record of you out there somewhere.

True enough. But access to that record is limited.

The paper I linked to demonstrates that anyone else who can read the forum, if they take the time and make the effort, might be able to identify you unless you are very careful.
 
Butters read this thread and removed all her poetry about her premarital partners.

:(
 
I thought this PSA was from 1988.

But I'm glad someone is finally giving us practical advice on how to navigate this newfangled interwebs.
 
I don't even say that much.

Bullshit.

I just scanned through some of your posts and know as much or more about you as Aglao.

E.G....Did your wife actually become a hooker without your noticing?
