Dropped boxes

Good day, /prog/

In order to share our EXPERT PROGRAMMING creations with each other, I suggest we use this up and coming file synchronisation service:

No, even with the ID you are still anonymous, however identifiable and unique.
Sorry, by “anonymous”, I mean not verifiably the same poster as a previous. Not “anonymous” as in “without name”. I think you know what I mean.

The only reason I can think of is trolling or forcing opinions, memes and other things.
With IDs, it's a lot easier to spot trolls.
Indeed, I had considered this myself. Being “unverifiable”, it is easy to force opinions or memes. However, and I think this is a serious point: posts should be regarded by the content of what is said, not by the authority of a name. As Shii says on his page, not-anonymous forums encourage users making authoritative posts and people just take their word for it or don't argue with them, rather than judging the content of the post itself. So, let's consider an example: I've just made a post that has been agreed with or strongly disagreed with, and I now want to reply within the same thread to an unrelated post; with IDs enabled this encourages people to judge my post by my identity and less by the content of what is said. This is not good. Of course, if stopping trolls is more important than this then IDs are better. And one can also make guesses that two people are the same. But it is just a guess. Perhaps this example is a rare case, indeed, it might be. I'm undecided. Sorry about the convoluted nature of my post.
