Just a short note: I've noticed that an increasing number of people are using anonymizer URLs or CGI proxies when postings news items. Depending on the time of the day, my current work load, and how much time I have to do moderation tasks (currently not a lot), such items are very likely to be removed, rather than edited. A lot of these links just flat out don't work for anyone other than the person submitting the news item, and as such the quick fix is to just delete the entire item, rather than wait for the end of the day to be able to edit, and in the meanwhile have hundreds of people click on a link that doesn't work...

MOTD 24/3/2004 : Comment 9 of 17 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Anonymous on 25-Mar-2004 07:46 GMT | I have no problems with people posting anonymous, as long as they simply speak their mind (which most anonymous posters do, that's why they post anonymous and that's why some people get scared). My nickname hardly makes anyone of you more able to trust me. In fact, the only reason I can think of for people to demand non-anonymous posts is that *if* Mr.Satan said "I'm gonna bring hell on earth" 3 years ago - he is not to be trusted, whatever he says today. He could well have changed into a saint and no1 would care.
People want their opinion to matter, therefore when using a nickname (or their real name) they cannot change their opinion as easily. Because that would take away his/her accountability.
For example, some will surely think that this post is total nonsense. What will they do? They will attach that nonsense to the nickname "T1k", and from now on probably everything T1k says will be nonsense to them. The human mind at work.
I belive this thread was really about broken links but I just had to unload this.
