I don't think many would leave at all! Personally, I tend to ignore both questions and answers from Anonymous. I love the relationships between people on this site. It is because of those relationships that I feel like I can ask questions without being judged.
Quite a few I'd say lol
That's a good question. I think the people that really care about the site and don't really care for the "anonymous" stuff would stick around. Most everyone uses their name when they ask or answer here but I think some use "anonymous" because they don't want others to know who they are if they ask a sensitive question. I'm 50/50 about the "anonymous" thing but I sure wouldn't leave. It's something that us Admins have been discussing for a while now because it does allow anyone to come here and ask a question without an account. So, there are goods and bads.
Oooh.. Ikr? I've often wondered too. People would either leave or make an account purely to mess with others.
I'm not sure about the native Blurters, but the immigrants from Ask.com would probably stay regardless! We aren't used to having an anonymous option anyway so we don't really care.
I am sure not many people, the members who caring about being here as much as they can constantly, they already have an account. They also talked about themselves so people could know them, & your question is a very good one, because I would be happy to see the anon form get removed. It's pointless, some people might use it for not being recognized but how many times!? Doing too much is boring, we need to start to ask things with responsibility & obvious without fear. Also because most of members have issue with anons, we wouldn't know if they're fully real etc . .
Trolls are everywhere & that make things hard for us, anons allow the members to troll easily. However,people can be troll by accounts as well but at least they are so busted like that than being anons. In other way, if there be any reason you'd like to stay unrecognized to ask something, the emotion of your question is gonna be cold, if you get comfortable with it & ask it "recognized" with honesty, people will be answering you with full honesty & so much more care than when you ask it anions.
Removing anons is a positive step for the site & I vote for it.if anyone suppose to leave by removing anons, they are unstable people without any emotional connection to neither of members here that would leave at anytime. So why not filter those people as soon as possible ? So at the end we have people that are part of here or willing to be, also we'll increase the security of the site from trolls.
I don't think any would leave but I definitely would ask personal questions under annon on yahoo answers.
I would stay and I think most people would, but I think it would limit the questions that people can ask. For example, if people have questions about their health or something personal like that, they might not want everyone to know about it, but if there's no anonymous option then they can't ask. I get that the trolls are annoying, but I think the anonymous option is quite important.
Not many.
It took me a while to get used to the Anonymous questions but the advantages to nervous people are obvious. The disadvantages are less obvious. Apart from helping trolls and spammers it also makes it difficult to answer a question effectively if you have absolutely no idea who is asking it. Age, gender, location, personal circumstances can all make a difference to how we respond. (Although those may not be provided on individual profile pages, they can be guessed at from previous Q&A.)

Like most people here, I don't think that we'll have a lot of people leaving. Even if there are people who do leave, then I don't think that the Blurtit community would lose much. However, I don't think that it's a good idea to take it off because being anonymous may help people be able to ask questions that they might not have otherwise asked.
Didn't find the answer you were looking for?
