There is another forum on which I am regular user. Suddenly there was a bug during upgrade which made the usernames of the users to disappear. That way nobody knew who is the author of specific post and the replies too.

I found this very interesting idea. Regular forums have members, nicknames, reputation (karma). This makes few users "better" than others, ok. This is building some forum elite and makes gives the ideas of this elite more power.

But what happens to the other members, the "small members" ideas? Sometimes they may be more helpful than the "elite ideas", right? If they contradict each other the elite will definitely win the battle!

So without usernames you don't actually know who is who. Somebody writes a topic with questions and other completely anonymous users are answering him in complete privacy. So instead of making personal reputation and raising karma - the person who helps will be happy only because he is helping. Nothing more.

What do you think for about that "anonyforum" idea? Of course I won't do that with motohell, don't worry. I am just thinking of that is interesting...

Nice one..

But instead a forum, you could just start a Q&A website instead. Just like Yahoo Answer. And of course, they are all anonymous. Call it Anonym Answer... Grin

The problem might be, since it's all anonymous... there might be troll everywhere instead of solid discussion. Grin

Yep, that's the problem - who will moderate. And if it is moderated - isn't we compromising the idea?

Yeah, it is needed to be moderated, or else, it won't work out.

We could make the members all equal (no post count, position, karma, etc) and we could also make the moderator/admin anonymous instead, so in the member perspective, even the moderator/admin are all the same member. It probably work, maybe... Smiley
