What's the point of being anon on a kinkmeme if people log and pay attention to your IP address?

I mean, seriously, the point of the anonymity of a kinkmeme is so that people can feel comfortable to ask for what they want without it getting traced back to them, so that no one can even attempt to judge them. I'm not ashamed of my kinks- I'm just not

lol I really shouldn't be saying this but, damn those are excellent and dedicated stalking skills! *impressed whistle*

But they really shouldn't be doing that unless that person is consistently causing problems for everyone else on the meme, imo.

[theeonenonly]

I know, right?

And even then, you can just delete the posts. But when the person is otherwise following all the rules, it's just not right.

Colour me impressed XD

Hmm well I guess it's the mods' discretion. If I was a mod of one of those anon things and I keep seeing some posts consistently infringing some of the guidelines and they seem similar, I would check the IP addresses. Then I would give the person a warning, and if they keep breaking rules anyway, I'd permanently keep an eye on that IP address and delete any posts they make in the future that do not abide by whatever guidelines are set. So I wouldn't check IP addresses until I suspect a repeat offender, lol.

Yeah, but in this instance, no one's breaking any rules. All that's going on is that someone with the same IP address is posting requests on the kinkmeme requesting the same pairing. That's it. There's no bashing or in appropriate behavior or rule breaking, all they're doing is posting a lot of requests for one pairing. It would be like if we brought up the fact that someone is posting a lot of Shizuo/Izaya requests on the kinkmeme- which I think we have- but that their problem is that it's all one person. And I'm only talking about seven or eight posts, here. And this was brought up by a mod who says they support the pairing.

It just frustrates me, is all.

[sventastic]

Yeah okay, that's not so good then, they shouldn't really be doing that :/

[theeonenonly]

The conversation where the (anonymous) mod was talking about it has been deleted since then, I think, but it still makes me leery about making requests there.

[sventastic]

Oh the mods are anonymous too? That's kinda strange. How would you contact them? o_o;

[theeonenonly]

No, it was just a conversation started in the chatter post, where the mods can go anon if they want to. Also, there are several mods, and since this one went anon, I don't know who I would contact so maybe see about not having our IP addresses checked.

I mean, I wouldn't care if they wanted to know who I was, but the fact that they request everyone be anon on the meme, and even if they don't care, post to the community before hand and post an anonymous link back to it for a fill- and then they go and pay attention to the IP addresses of those who make requests? It just feels really underhanded and wrong to me. Also, I wouldn't care if they logged the IP addresses, if they didn't pay attention to them, but they do. And I'm pretty sure that requires more work than simply looking at the request.

[sventastic]

Yeah that's not very good.
