Discussion

Sometimes we have questions or ideas we'd like to hear feedback and discussion on. This is meant to be a forum for such. Since I can't guarantee access to a cgi-bin script, discussion will be moderated. Feedback can be found at the end of the appropriate link

• zsex: we don't want anon to be an extension of zsex. should we create an anon-zsex class, or set up anon to zephyr to -c zsex?
• names: we don't want people discussing people who haven't given their permission. Would it be good to maintain a list of people who've given permission?
• identities: people want a way to exchange identities. suggestions on how to do this?
  1. allow people to send something to anon that will be forwarded to someone (as specified by sequence number) non-anonymously. this has the disadvantage of being easy to spoof. ("who said that" "I did" nothing verifies the "I did")
• acls: There seem to be a couple obnoxious people, who insist on using anon in a hurtful fashion. Ideally we could acl anon to ignore them, but that only work if we knew how they are. (and we can't know). We could acl anon so only allowed people could send, and to become allowed you "sign" something saying you won't be mean. this has it's own set of disadvantages. We could also just ignore them, and hope they grow up.
• anything else?

You can email us at anon-admin@mit.edu This is not anonymous however, if you want a reply you'll have to send it there.
If you're uncomfortable sending us you name you can use anonymous-admin@mit.edu This will pipe it through a script that strips the headers (except subject).
