Thread Name: Posting anonymously
Subject: RE: Posting anonymously
Knowing I risk the wrath of site admin. and others for lengthy quoting, but clearly, people need to pause and consider other issues beside their own comfort levels. People get fired, families lose providers, etc etc

Please, just rethink your positions on anonymous posting/posters.

I have paused and thought and scanned this thread. I notice GeorgeH picked up on a point that I haven't seen answered:

Surely for any monitoring software to be effective, the admin needs to know who has used a given computer at any time. Assuming the admin has a system that meets this most basic requirement, posting anonymously will not prevent a user from getting caught.

Any user that thinks that they are cheating their system by posting anonymously to a site like Mudcat is likely to find themselves in for a very nasty shock.
