Thoughts on Anonymous Comments!!!

[oksideshow859419]

To have courage is to post with a name to stand behind your opinions. Being anonymous and posting is your true self a no name

Is "859419" your real surname?

Norwegians have barcodes, not surnames. They're sensitive about this, please be a bit more delicate.

We're all anonymous. It's just a matter of degrees of anonymity. Who cares.

Duleigh.

There are degrees of anonymity here. OKsideshow859419 over time does achieve more singularity and identity than "anonymous" is ever going to have.

I don't know, Keith. I've had some pretty darn singular comments from Anonymous.

 

[AwkwardlySet]

Sure, we are all anonymous here, but some people clearly want to be more anonymous than others, otherwise, they would post those negative comments in this, somewhat less anonymous way. And don't even get me started on all the alts we have here...

I would like to see a rule that says you can't do anonymous feedback. Make them at least sign in and leave their screen name.

There is such a rule already, although it extends only to comments.

I’ve had vile comments from Anonymous and heartwarmingly lovely ones. I suspect the issue is negative comments, rather than their provenance. If you hate them, delete them, as is your prerogative.

Am I the only one to pick up on the reference here?

Is this like the thing about Sweden putting barcodes on its warships?

You can block anonymous comments on your stories.

"Accept Anonymous Feedback" -> "NO"

Problem solved.

I've even posted authors notes to the effect that while I respect the right to anonymously chime in your love for the weird kinky stuff that I happen to include, any criticism has to have a user name so the rest of us can evaluate their own writing and other comments. Otherwise they will be (gleefully) deleted.

I happen to love the ones who circle back to anonymously complain that their anonymous comments keep getting deleted. You can smell the impotent rage.

??? There isn't such a rule is there?

Well, there is, it's only up to each of us whether it will be used or not. You can turn off anonymous comments on each of your stories. You can't stop anyone from anonymously commenting on other authors' stories, of course; only the story's author has that power. And it's one of the things that were done well on Lit, in my opinion. Let everyone choose for themselves if they want anonymous comments or not.

 

[pink_silk_glove]

Anyone can say anything that they want about my stories, baseless or not, and I am not afraid of any of it nor will I ever be offended by it.

 

[kathyisgr65]

Not a fan..if u can't attach ur name to ur opinion it's not worth sharing

 

[RachelPost]

I guess because I am relatively new to this, the nasty anonymous comments bother me. Especially when it sounds like the person didn't even read the whole story.

This is what I do too. And after publishing stories online since the late 1990s, nasty comments still bother me. So I delete those I don't need.

You can do that by turning off anon comments

It bothers a lot of people. Thing is, most comments are from anon, and anon can be anybody, from people with accounts who don't want their screen name associated with either what they're reading or saying--the bitch made users. Or people who don't have accounts and can't be bothered to make the simple investment of doing so. You can turn them off, but you may not get any comments because of it, comments can be slim pickings as is, even with anon enabled.
