I think the anonymous feature can definitely be abused. I also have to say (like Virge) I'm a member of numerous forums, none of them have an 'anonymous' feature.
Are newbies using the Anon system, or are we just assuming they are?

It's not being used by only newbies. It is intended for anonymous posts. It is especially helpful for those who use their real identity for their profile and wish to post anonymously. I have ignored just as many NON-anonymous posts as the seemingly more irritating anonymous ones. I have not needed to use it but I've become friends with those who've settled down with their own irrational lack of well being after using it to air their dirty or crazy laundry, whims, irritations, etc. I respect the feature for its unique presence comparatively speaking.
Life's too short to miss an opportunity to show your love and affection!

I thought you guys were amazing nice and understanding when I first joined. I never felt like someone was being mean in response to one of my comments or posts. But then again, I like hearing honest things and some people can't take honesty.........

Meridan pointed out something I'd totally overlooked ---- that there is in fact a 50 post minimum before using the anonymous option. That eliminates newbies as a factor. It tells us the anonymous posters are established members --- people we know.
That presents a whole nudder set of questions and for the sake of harmony I'm not going to share them.... I'm just going to sit back and snicker as I wonder who I know in GS would trust us so little as to hide behind a paper bag to talk about getting upset over a room mate wanting a pussy. Had he done it with his screen name I'd have approached it seriously.

SHOman93, I think he was referring to me. But since we both have a white Ford as our Avatars, I could see how someone could easily confuse a Classic Mustang with a 25 year newer HiPo Taurus!!!
