Anonymous posting?



Hmmm... as has been mentioned, there's no such thing as 100% anonymity
on the web. But more importantly, anonymous posting could seriously
undermine the whole thing:

- If no one posting their review is using their real name, how much
weight should their opinions carry? After all, if they're anonymous
the poster does not have to stand behind the statements: they could
say anything they want.

- Which leads to an even more pernicious problem: what's to stop an
unscrupulous recruiter from signing up and using an anonymous ID to a)
post glowing reviews of their own service, and b) drag every other
recruiter through the dirt? Again, if it's anonymous there's no way to
protect the list from this behaviour.

Once either of these start happening, the actual usefulness of the
list would plummet.
