Remove IDs.

With TOR posting now enabled they are pretty pointless. They just make the board seem dead when the same ID is seen multiple times in a thread.

who the fuck still even uses TOR?
it's a confirmed FBI honeypot

If you dont want an ID then why not use tor yourself OP?

82a35a No.3738

In addition to OP's reasoning, I have found that people still prejudge your arguments by things said previously in a thread. This is converse to the ideal of anonymous posting. All I've seen IDs used for is to derail conversations with lazy "samefag!!!" shitposting.

eb1b54 No.3742

IDs go against the very foundation of anonymity, and have no purporse on a chan that prides itself on anonymity.

If Mark does not take down IDs within the next 2 minutes, he is forever a faggot.

You do know that now with Tor IDs enabled it doesn't change much? Juts the easiest way to ban evade and swap IDs aside from Dynamic IPs or proxies.

Naw, Thread specific IDs are fucking god send and cut down on 90% of the samefagging shitposting that infected halfchan because a majority of them are retards.

It doesn't stop the non completely retarded anons though, but no system is perfect.

eb1b54 No.3757

>>3745
It's piss easy to samefag now with TOR not being banned, tens of thousands of proxies available for all to use, and hundreds of thousands of IPs from VPNs ready to use.

The only reason IDs are even in place to begin with is because of the whiny, incessant bitching from the GaymerGate crowd about "shilling." It's unneeded, and only serves as a detriment to true anonymity.

ddb75a No.3758

Nah, keep the ID's.

All tor users are given one ID.

2a58ce No.3768

I feel the ID's give the threads some coherence, especially larger ones. In a thread with 700+ posts, it's hard to catch-up and know everything that's been said so far. The ID's aid in organizing the thread some so that you could at least respond to a particular chain of replies.

That, and samefagging is a preventable form of shitposting. If you dislike them, jump onto Tor.

>>3768
I like ID's because they allow me to skim over situations where half the posts in a thread are two people arguing over something completely unrelated to the thread. Now I don't have to read that shit and it makes "derailing" a lot less annoying. That's really the only reason why I prefer ID's to no IDs. I don't care about samefag shit because i never trusted it to do anything besides verify that one person made multiple posts.

Do not remove ids, this poster is an idiot, and probably a samefag.

It doesn't really affect me much I guess, I do like being able to lick on an id and being able to read every post by that ID, it's great because we can have actual fucking conversations here.

IDs are a useful tool for identifying shills, shitposters, and idiots. They're not perfect, but I definitely prefer having them.

Keep ID's, there is nothing wrong with them.

Why don't you just used forced anonymity

It's right there in the options.

3abd96 No.4322

>>4320
Even if you were hiding IDs, you'd be doing a pure disservice to yourself, just like forcing anonymity instead of filtering all tripfags. That's because other people won't do it, too, so they'll end up accusing you of having the wrong opinion on one topic (i.e. thread-wise cult of identity). Since your ID is tied to everything you say in one thread, if you specify any single one opinion that is even remotely similar to anything else you said in a previous thread, you can be automatically identified and people will claim your opinion is wrong because of things that aren't related in anyway that you might have said in previous threads.

My favorite part is where other people are accused of being you for having remotely similar opinions on single topics.

It really doesn't do ANYTHING against 99% of samefagging. Sure, it is helpful against marketers, and it has helped show that robek was false-flagging as ralph, but mods false-flagging is an issue with mods being crap, and marketers are both extremely obvious to users and their IDs can always be seen by board admins.

In short, if there's a marketer/undesirable samefag, here's a revolutionary thought: the mods might deign to do their fucking job and deal with it. IDs don't help users in any way for now beside in GG threads (because they're much too fast to expect a mod to deal with them - unfortunately, mods prefer shitposting in them 24/7 than tending to the board).

No security system is going to stop a determined thief, but people still use them.

IDs are fine, there is literally no downside to having them even if they do nothing to curb samefagging.

Disable Tor posting. The shill has gotten intense in GamerGate threads.

if it's just in the #GamerGate threads, you can filter the Tor 000000 ID and it will hide all the spam posts for that thread only, that way the rest of the board needn't have to disable Tor posting

TOR is not being disabled on /v/. The capability for abuse using TOR is actually lower than with public proxies.
