Anonymization of poasts older than X
Poast new message in this thread
Date: October 24th, 2017 4:34 AM Author: odious rough-skinned plaza This is an experimental feature. Right now, I set the threshold to poasts older than two years. I want to see what people think about this feature. The goal is to protect people's privacy while preserving thread readability.
If we keep this feature, it could be opt-in, or opt-out, or mandatory. I'm thinking about it and welcome your input. For now, I just want to see how the concept is received. Don't worry, all the usernames are stored in the database so we can always change things back.
One other idea is allowing you to choose a threshold you prefer. So you might want to anonymize poasts older than 1 year, whereas someone else might only care to do it for poasts older than 3 years or not at all. I could also restrict the capability to poasts older than 1 year or x years, so people don't just use it to poast anonymously with a threshold of 0. That would suck and I don't want that.
If you want to see the feature in action, just check out an old thread with old poasts. I can't promise we keep the feature, that's why I want your input. |

Date: October 24th, 2017 6:51 PM Author: odious rough-skinned plaza So it looks like we have fewer people who like this idea than not, but there are mixed opinions.
The majority seems to agree that if the feature is implemented, it should be optional.
It looks like those who are pro like it for the enhanced privacy. Those who are con are against it because it eliminates subtext and allows people to hide from exchanges that are part of the public record.
My primary goal was to enhance privacy, but maybe it's not as much of a concern for most people as I thought. For years I've heard from people who believed they were being tracked using information they had poasted previously, so that was where I was coming from. There's a difference between anonymity and privacy, and you don't really have anonymity if your identity follows you. Only privacy, which can be violated outside of this site.
Just keep in mind, if you don't like pumos, there really isn't any alternative for people who want to be un-Googleable other than just robots.txt'ing the whole site. I don't want to do that. If someone archives your shit and harasses you IRL, I can't protect you from that.
I do think opt-in anonymization isn't such a bad option. Subtext/context will still be able to be ascertained if most of the other poasters in the thread are not masked. |

the other thing is that old threads that are obviously one person's are not truly anonymized. someone can search for old threads having the string "PDDJ" and those arent anon since they're obviously linked to an OP. |

think opt-in to randomization might be better though, at least before a certain threshold like six years or something. sometimes good to see who made a post when it's still semi-recent and those posters are most likely still aware enough to come on xo and blank things if necessary.
think it would be better just to preserve authors and people can blank what they want if necessary. |

|
Date: October 24th, 2017 6:29 AM Author: swashbuckling deer antler my idea: i think it would be useful to be able to designate certain threads "classic" threads and have the monikers in those threads NOT be anonymized. an example would be the I AM A REFRIGERATOR I AM VERY COLD WOOOOOOSH thread. Right now Mods can click on the D by a thread to move it to garbage boart. I recommend Rach add a C button next to that (or perhaps within the thread itself on the first poast in a thread would be a better spot) to designate the thread a Classic. Poasts in that thread would NOT be anonymized. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3773143&forum_id=2#34515558) |

we don't need to be assigning mods a "job" to do and we don't need a politburo deciding what's "classic" |
|
Date: October 24th, 2017 6:38 AM Author: swashbuckling deer antler ive been to reddit less than 5 times in my life
its just an idea i had
shrug
whether or not rach decides to do anonymization for all or just opt in, marking some threads as Classic and not allowing for anonymization within them i think is useful for preserving boart content
*edit* it wouldnt be assigning them a job. i dont mean it like a mod would be expected to do it a certain # per week or anything. i just mean if someone saw an old thread that they wanted to be marked classic, they could indicate that and a mod or rach could just click on the C. would take no time at all. |
|
Date: October 24th, 2017 6:44 AM Author: Heady Box Office Digit Ratio i don't think designating certain threads as "classic" to block anonymization in them would be a material decision if we just made anonymization pure opt-in, don't think more than 2% of active posters would choose to anonymize so those threads wouldn't be undermined. just an entirely unnecessary project.

|
Date: October 24th, 2017 6:47 AM Author: swashbuckling deer antler ok, i see your point.
im just saying that if we do the anonymization thing, that marking a thread as classic and not allowing anonymization within it is an EASY way to avoid people crying about their content being ruined. thats all. |
|
Date: October 24th, 2017 6:40 AM Author: odious rough-skinned plaza I think the Favorites function should be improved. Revealed preference would determine what's classic. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3773143&forum_id=2#34515589) |
|
Date: October 24th, 2017 6:52 AM Author: swashbuckling deer antler also rach, you really could just make anonymization opt-in only and allow people to set their own time period. so if one person wants to set their poasts to anonymize after 6 months they can and if another person wants it after 5 years they can. i would set a limit on how often they can change it, though

Date: October 24th, 2017 6:34 AM Author: Heady Box Office Digit Ratio there are way too many good old threads to do case-by-case designation

improving the favorites functionality sounds good |
|
Date: October 24th, 2017 7:09 AM Author: Splenetic pozpig this is all overcomplicating everything massively and completely unnecessarily
make this all opt-in on a thread by thread basis and hardly anybody will opt in, especially not for the classics that everybody liked
==> problem solved

|
Date: October 24th, 2017 7:13 AM Author: swashbuckling deer antler after thinking about it some more, i think youre probably right in that we are making this more complicated than it needs to be

Date: October 24th, 2017 7:21 AM Author: swashbuckling deer antler i totally understand that

Date: October 24th, 2017 6:33 AM Author: odious rough-skinned plaza I definitely think, at a minimum, an opt-in/opt-out/or curation system, per thread, would be necessary. Definitely don't want to obfuscate good content. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3773143&forum_id=2#34515568) |

Date: October 24th, 2017 6:41 AM Author: Heady Box Office Digit Ratio i don't see what's wrong with making anonymization pure opt-in.
people who are still around and who are sensitive to privacy will opt-in, people who aren't won't, and old posters who have already scurried away because of privacy concerns have already gone pumo and/or blanked old posts, so we're not really providing much of a benefit to them anyways |
|
Date: October 24th, 2017 6:46 AM Author: odious rough-skinned plaza Yeah that's one route that certainly could work.
I just think people sometimes don't realize that there are weirdos out there who try to build Excel spreadsheets and unmask their identities. I'd like to diminish the risk of outing because sometimes it happens to people unexpectedly. |

Date: October 24th, 2017 7:00 AM Author: Heady Box Office Digit Ratio probably true but i don't think that's much of a secret yet posters continue to post personal things. and this is a realistic risk on any board. it's just something posters have to weigh when they give personal info. i don't think jumbling monikers in old threads is worth dealing with a risk that isn't new and which posters really should have in mind anyways (and which many of the more sensitive ones have already responded to by going pumo etc.) (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3773143&forum_id=2#34515710) |
|
Date: October 24th, 2017 7:02 AM Author: odious rough-skinned plaza I'm doing this in anticipation of improved search (albeit thread-title only) and re-integrating the archive database.
Also, wouldn't it be nice to obviate the pumo? |
|
Date: October 24th, 2017 7:11 AM Author: Heady Box Office Digit Ratio going pumo for the purpose of wanting to leave this site and become untraceable is fine, basically serves the same purpose as anonymization (albeit they can still be tracked if someone really wanted to make a serious time-consuming project out of it but it's impossible to search for a pumo on google so going pumo really does do the trick)
that's my point, we already have a built-in anonymization tool for people who decide they don't want to be here anymore and who want to cover their tracks. anonymizing could be nice to provide the same benefit to people who still want to stick around without going pumo but then making it opt-in would do the job without stripping everyone of having their identities connected to past posts.
and again we wouldn't be providing much benefit to posters who have already left due to privacy concerns because they've already gone the pumo route, so making it a purely opt-in choice isn't harming anyone. |

There also needs to be a harsh crackdown on all posting, implying, or even known gathering of IRL info about anyone. Instant long-term or permanent ban, and/or publishing the offender’s IP (or more, if possible), plus whatever other means are or can be at your disposal.
Time to change the culture for the better around here. |

There have been some improvements lately, but people can just blank their own poasts/go pumo if need be (as I did when my future wife found my moniker and started googling my poasts). The main thing this feature will do is allow poasters to escape their own gapings, which should not be allowed. |
