Is it difficult to run a forum without the users learning your real identity? That seems like the way to go, but I have no experience with that sort of thing.

- prawn 5y agoIt would be possible, though if you participated a lot, you'd leave a lot of writing to be analysed. That would at least deter the casuals. In my case, I post using my first name and most regulars would know who I am. It's a sports forum and people have recognised me at games, etc. I've had people look up my phone number and call me aggressively about things. I've had countless legal letters and threats. Someone doxxed my parents in the early days. You quickly learn how many unhinged members of society we have.
- tekknik 5y agoI think as some point you have to ask if moderating a forum is this important.
