Attention Mods:
Can we advertise/patronize CR Posters’ businesses?
Or does the risk of lost anonymity outweigh the benefit of CR business?
My job is to moderate the CR, please continue to patronize it. 🙂
I don’t see what the issue is with losing anonymity by choice. Not everyone has need nor reason to be anonymous. It is the one’s who give away details but think they haven’t who run the risk of being stalked.
What you WILL be risking is nasty, condescending remarks about your business from bored people who hadn’t even heard of it til you posted. I may not be strong enough for that.
Syag, that sounds pretty condescending. I don’t think people will say nasty things about a fellow member’s business, and I don’t think there is what to point to, to back up this accusation.
Nasty comments stem from the fact that there is no face behind the comment. You never (I hope) mock a person to his face while he tells you what he just thought of. On the other hand, if you read an opinion on a wall you will often wave a hand at it and twist your mouth. It takes time for new members to get used to the fact that there is a real person getting the feed-back.
Now, when you make a real connection to who you are that would actually stop natural, nasty comments.
I don’t like to be patronized.
I actually thought it was a great idea. I just meant that you would have to be prepared in case there is that rare, hardly ever seen, unkind poster who may have a mildly to moderately critical view of whatever you are advertising, not that it would ever happen. I am way too sensitive to risk it, but many aren’t.
I like your ideas, feel free to keep sharing.
Many of us know each other. It’s like dominoes– if one person chooses to reveal his identity, he may (inadvertently) “out” those of us who aren’t interested in going public.
jf – I disagree. (unless you say, “Oh, I can’t believe you’re so-and-so, I live two doors east of you”)
There are people who I have figured out because they gave info that only would mean something to someone who was there, and I was there. You have mentioned enough info for me to assume I might have known your grandparents but I still don’t know who you are, and I don’t think finding out would tell me who your friends are.
There is a person in the CR who knows me, and who has posted things about his life experiences that include me in great detail. He has also revealed who he is. Therefore, anyone who visits the CR and knows him can figure out who I am. That disturbs me.
I get that, and I am really sorry. That is a bit different though (and more than a bit creepy, I must say). I try very hard not to make personal references about people I know on here even though I will mention that I know them. Can you ask the mods to block him til he stops? weird
How do I contact a moderator?
you can post and we will read and delete it.
i hope im still anonymous. that way i can say mean things and no-one can punch me in the face.
wasn’t your sister on here at some point? I’m sure she’d be available for hire.
syag- she was. if she tried to punch me, id break her nose. sis, if youre reading this, if you try to punch me, ill break your nose.
Darn, I hope she’ll give me a refund.
maybe she’ll just punch you in the face, and break your nose.
