Do you prefer it when the people who ask questions are not anonymous?

If it's highly personal to the point of possible embarrassment, I thin  "Anonymous" is appropriate.

Asking an HONEST question that is not embarrassing should have a very real profile attached. It lends itself to a better understanding of the Asker and how think . . It helps us to determine HOW we should frame the answer as well.

I tend not to answer questions from people named "Anonymous". Others may feel differently.

I rarely answer anonymous questions. Too many trolls hide behind anonymity.

Should be like anonymous one two etc

I don't like Anonymous users questions. If I answer them at all, it's usually a short answer with little detail. There are some occasions when a regular user might want to ask an embarrassing question and want to remain anonymous though.

I do.

To me it's like legal-Illegal immigrants. Answering someone with a clear identity feels much better than someone who hide behind anonymous.

However there are conditions:

-Sometimes anonymous also ask very understandable questions which really make sense and you can feel it's a not a trolling attitude.

-Sometimes some members wants to use the community in a short term. So they prefer to stay anonymous for getting the answer they seek for.

-Sometimes someone go anonymous on purpose to not cost themselves embarrassment, judgement ect. . According to their comfort zone and how they think.

-Also there's no promise about those who become clear and out of anonymous. We've had trolls who had profile. It's not that easy to define the troll according to profile-anonymous.

But yet, my priority is like:

1.People i know in the community - regular members.

2.Others in the community

3.Anonymous

Yes, I do. If I know the user, I can give a more detailed answer. I usually won't answer anonymous questions.

Generally, yes.

Unless "anonymous" is asking for "facts," usually it's only a coincidence if the person gets advice that actually addresses their exact current situation.

I don't really care, they sometimes get a really dumb, 😣nonsense answer. I never ever thank them.

As long as it isn't a long drawn out drama question ? I'll try to answer them if they make sense. Not high on my priority list as I want to see them sign in and become a member. But I do answer some of them but I prefer members questions.

I will answer them most of the time. However I prefer not to ask my questions anonymously because I think you get a real answer from real people when you don't post anonymously.
