[Resolved] Uploader Anonymity
-
It's NOT fixed.
I entered a comment on one of my uploads, in response to a comment. My partner (also a member), who had downloaded the particular upload as well, received a message stating a new comment had been entered at that upload; and it stated that the new comment was made by "member's name" and not by "uploader."
So the problem still exists.
Fixed now.

Oh, that's a shame

Nothing good last forever….. kidding
Personally, I like it when I know who uploaded a torrent, but then again, most uploader wants to remain anonymous -
I also like to know the uploader. You can judge a lot about what the file will be like.
And we will never know how many people want to be anonymous- there is no choice.

Would it be possible for the site to do a Poll on the issue to see what members think? I for one have no problems being identified as the up-loader of any specific torrent therefore enabling members to send comments and/or questions relating to a torrent. We all identify ourselves in the forum section and that doesn't present any problems for me… has anyone else had negative effects from being identified in the forums?

Bluesurfer, there's nothing to stop you starting a new poll. Just don't expect an avalanche of responses. I feel the majority of people who use the torrents don't also use the forums.
Likewise, I have no problems being identified. I post quite a lot on another site where anonymity is not an option when posting (despite the occasional staff member arguing for it). I have never had any difficulty and I haven't heard of anyone else having any either.
I've tried to think what horrors could overcome a named uploader and have failed so far.
I do know on the other site I know exactly what to expect when I see an uploaders name. You can also help a new uploader by name or personal messages. And you can contact an uploader which can he helpful.

I was just wondering since I've just registered here early this year, Is there a time when uploader has a choice to become anonymous or reveal his name as uploader? When was the 'Anonymous' for all uploaders implemented?

I know I could do a Poll on the issue cannonmc, but thank you for letting me know as I might not have known. I just thought if the site did the Poll about this, that members may take the issue more seriously and we could get a larger portion of the members responding to it. Actually thought is the wrong word, rather I HOPED more members would respond!

eastonkellan, I can't remember exactly but it happened some years ago. You can still see in some of the old comments where people replied to the uploader by name.
I also cannot remember if we had a choice before. I don't think so.
-
Do you think a "contact uploader" button should be added then cannonmc? That way those that would rather be anonymous can still be contacted by people.

Oh okay, thanx 4 that cannonmc

It's worth thinking about but it would have to be an opt-out when uploading as some people really do want to be anonymous
