This. I have actually been way less mean than I want to be here because the mod seems like a nice woman and I am grateful to her for starting this but anonymity is key for UB for sure.
It would quickly devolve into people trying to figure out which posts were linked to someone they disagree with and it would ruin the whole thing. The beauty of this type of forum is that two people can be at each other's throats in one thread and ily'ing each other in the next and not even know it. It's like the opposite of cancel culture. Every statement you make is judged fresh on its merits and not by what you've said or done before which breaks down biases. Every voice is both a nobody and an expert at the same time. And that benefits the poster and the reader alike.
@Anonymous You can't unfortunately. It's the worst. just report to the moderator. I hate to bother her, but that's the one time I do report because it's an abuse of the forum, especially because sometimes the sleuthing is totally wrong.
No. The great feature of this forum is anonymity.

You've been plenty mean. I'm glad we're not getting you at your worst . . .

@Anonymous problem is when you get the creeps who figure out your URL and then try to out you. How do you screen for that?!
