But considering that nobody knows who she is, it's just like having anon privileges for only one person who happens to be doing a lot of harm around the school.
Which is why we keep deleting their account. And we've kept her away for a while, she's just got back in the system somehow. I'm looking into it, don't worry. We just need to make sure we don't prevent real students making accounts, but still stop her making new ones.
You could always require them to sign up in person and only allow accounts to be created from a single computer that's in a locked staff office.
I just don't think it's fair to disable anonymous posting when someone like the Gossip Girl can make a fake account and get away with more or less thumbing her nose at the staff.
Both. Although I think anonymous posting can be abused, I think it's also a chance for students to voice their concerns about things without being identified. For students who are shy and/or worried about being judged for something, that's important.
Anonymous posts could always be enabled for text only to prevent stuff like those nasty porn clips from being posted.
You don't think the fact that people can get away with abuse unidentified balances it out? Because you know, I'm all for helping shy students but in my experience anonymity on the internet breeds more negativity than positivity.
It could always be enabled on a trial basis, and a few responsible students could be appointed to keep an eye on things and report questionable content to staff.
