Can someone remind me why we banned the anonymous thread again?

Btw everyone who answered here and said "sensitive fans, etc" just know I remember you all defending your faves when non fans said something not nice about them so stop the act bc with anonymous would be you there saying shit about others while getting defensive here too and acting like a wronged kid

As it was said before, the biggest problem is the no accountability.

I'm missing some AKP lore. Someone fill me in, please.

We had anonymous section before and several times, but for what? It was just a reddit or twitter so why have it now again?

It's a proved failure "project".

Oh.

Who even thought that was going to be a success

I always found it to be the worst idea. It's basically an "unpopular opinion thread" from twitter and that's not a compliment at all.

As said above, no accountability makes people say crazy things and that's something considering wild things can be said even publicly here and on other platforms.

There's no way a single one of the things said on this type of thread will be constructive or remotely interesting anyway so yeah, no point.

bring it back cowards

If someone wants to say something mean so badly they should at least have to balls to stand for it.

because mods hate fun

but the real reason was that it was too much work for them to approve every post

Quote from SooYoung

Cuz people usef to visit the anonymous thread and then complain about what they read here

Which is a mentality i've never understood

If you don't want to be expose to what's being said in the anonymous thread don't go there and you'll don't have to complain about it then

I've never understood this masochistic mentality that some users had here

This is what I didn't get either. If you dislike a section, why even visit it? It's very simple to ignore or avoid a section that you disagree with.

But then I saw threads pop up in the usual K-pop forum that were literally nothing but copies and links to anonymous threads, followed up with long rants about this or that thread or post in the anonymous section. It was wild, en weird and maybe masochistic of the people doing it.

Quote from crystalblues

It was closed and completely removed from the system due to the massive amount of doxxing of not only staff but other users on the site and not having anyway to track it and keep people accountable for it. Because the system would generate exactly what it said, anonymous alias which were not attached to the posters.

It was removed for safety of people's privacy and it will not be coming back.

If you want to say something kinda dumb or weird, just do it, but also keep in mind freedom of speech does not mean freedom of consequences if you say something too out of line.

I was less active in those days, I must have missed that: how did it even work, doxxing of anonymous posts and posters?

As for freedom of speech not meaning freedom of consequences, I dunno, I agree, but in the US there has been a mass conversion and mind retraining going on for years now that yes, you really CAN say something even far out of line w/o consequences (as long as you're part of the group of loudest shouters or part of the group where the power lies).

It only existed because they put a troll as admin back then
