The value of this plan is it honors peoples request for privacy without removing thoughtful conversations. The downside is it puts the onus for protecting people from themselves on you. |
I was going to suggest the exact same thing - if, that is, there aren't very many requests like that. Is this something the mods could do? (Is it even possible?) Hmmmm... tho if many people saw posts from "anon", they might want to be able to post anonymously, leading to more requests along those lines. Perhaps only in extreme instances?... With sufficient begging and pleading from the OP?
