Tokiko please stop desperately samefagging.

The intended aim of having names/trips is so that when the discussion at hand is turned in a direction where individual discernment between posters is essential to the conversation (e.g., a thread created by a moderator for the sake of communicating with the userbase) then the names can be seen and reacted to. However, many of the moderators are “just another one of the guys”. We post anonymously with the rest of the userbase. We laugh at the same stupid threads, we photoshop all the same stupid images, we engage in the same stupid flamewars.

Yet we still understand that there is a time and a place for revealing one’s identity. The adage “What he doesn’t know won’t hurt him” applies itself readily here: for if there is no need to show everyone “HELLO MY NAME IS ANONYMOUS-SAN AND I HAVE BEEN POSTING HERE FOR THE PAST 23 MONTHS ALSO I AM A MODERATOR” with every single post you make, then showing it when you post will get in the way of what you are trying to say. Any threads that you make will be full of posters kissing your ass and never disagreeing with you for fear of being banned or ridiculed, even if the thread you make turns out to be a stupid thread or if you don’t know what you’re talking about.

>>9960588
However the concept of names/trips only has validity if the poster in question was already known at the time he entered the community, and people are free to post in any way they want. With a name alone, if they have not been educated as to the concept of a tripcode (and thus looking like a nonlurker, something that singles one out among any group); with a name and trip, if they wish to broadcast to everyone that they and they alone are posting (in some contexts this is fine, but in most others it can be interpreted as egotism, an overwhelming desire to stand apart from the community and even as an antisocial gesture if used with every post), or anonymously, where one’s words are judged solely on their meaning with absolutely no prejudice or closed-mindedness.

Of course, there are many people who believe that “standing by the words that you say” is the only effective way of communicating. This has its good points and its bad points. If you are out to build an internet reputation, to distinguish yourself among your peers, this can be seen as a detrimental attitude, especially when applied to a community that already has a rich and detailed culture. Not a culture defined as “who said what” but merely “what happened”. If you make a legendary post and then find that it has changed the political and ideological landscape of the BBS, or if you make a really good joke and it becomes an instant catchphrase, then saying Yeah, that was me that said that. Look at me, I’m posting with my name so you can all look at me and say “that’s the guy that said that really funny thing about three months ago” can and will be considered egotistical.

nice copy pasta

On the other hand, if you make good contributions to the community and don’t want to be seen as egotistical, then posting them anonymously is a lesson in humility and taking things in strides. As long as you yourself know that you created a fad or delivered the finishing blow to a heated argument, then that victory is both yours (internally) and shared by the community (externally), because there is no real way of knowing who has said what. Your victories become the victories of the group: your losses become the losses of the group. Anonymous posting promotes a sense of closeness, of comaraderie, of a shared culture that is seen on only a superficial level in forums where anonymous posting is seen as “cowardly”, or that anonymous posters are there merely to troll because they are afraid of revealing who they are.

The fact is, that anonymous posters don’t post without a name to conceal their identity: they post without a name because the things they are talking about are not of such critical importance to warrant plastering one’s signature all over everything.

>She doesn't have anonymizer enabled

Oh wow.

Today's debate: does Tokiko have Asperger's or is he one of those people who would actually benefit from getting laid?

>>9960595
Personally, I have a name and trip that is known by many of the posters on the BBS. However I don’t post with it because of the reasons I’ve stated above, mainly because who I am really has nothing to do with what I say. If you think that your identity somehow is supposed to give more or less credence to your words, then you are mistaken: for it is this preconviction that starts one on the road to elitism, a difficult issue with any forum. The words that you say will be judged merely on their own merit in an Anonymous system, and believe it or not people WILL adapt to it very easily.

Once usernames and avatars and search functions and all that fluff is removed, anonymous BBSes become solely focused on the transfer of ideas, and can be an interesting sociological study on the dynamics of a group. When someone reads an anonymous post, he will not spend any time thinking about who the person is, but will focus on what he says. People will become more adept at paying attention to details, to writing styles, to little unconscious touches that mark each poster. They will learn from and in turn give back to the community, and will help it grow.

I stopped caring about him so much once I decided that he really had mental problems other than "just being retarded."

"Even if you ignore shit, you could still smell it" - Average /jp/er

My theory as an EXPERT INTERNET PSYCHOLOGIST:
He has fetal alcohol syndrome or something else that makes him look funny. Growing up he was shy and weird, but nothing that would suggest any sort of mental disorder. He discovered anime and manga as such people do, and got a few friends who liked it too. However, in order to keep friends, he had to be the "nutty one", the one who did humiliating things just to keep people's attention (we all knew someone like this, maybe it was you).
Eventually his friends moved on and probably broke contact with him, or went to different schools. So he's all alone with his weeaboo shit and his parents dislike him for it. He needs a friend, so he goes onto various internet communities and tries to fit in. He tries Reddit, Something Awful, Raspberry Heaven, but nothing works because they're communities based around older people in their twenties and thirties who have been there for quite some time.
Eventually he settles on 4chan, so he reads all he can about its history, gets his word in on sites like world2ch, Tanasinn.info and Jkid's boards, and stalks a few 4chan-famous people like Anonymous-san, Shii and Mr VacBob. All those people find he's a weird creep so they shun him and he settles for making his _own_ little cult of personality. /jp/ is easily trolled and enraged, so he spams here a bit, gets people's attention, and starts his own little IRC circlejerks.
Ultimately I guess it's for nothing, because he's depressed and frankly a failure in everything he does. No amount of philosophy books can change the fact that you're a weird creep, even by /jp/ standards. I just hope he isn't one of those people who stays in the pseudointellectual + epic, persistent trolling mindset, because I've known so many people like that and they just end up getting hurt. Unless they have NPD, like Shii. Shii's always happy because he loves himself.

Will you answer us honestly or are you going to be awkward about it?

Anyway, what's the situation with you and college? I hear you dropped out or something? What happened to you being a perfect grade student who was smarter than his teachers?

You have to admit, you do match the symptoms. You're not over-the-top hideous but you do look like you have FAS. Have you asked your parents?

Most of this could be fixed with a little bit of cosmetic surgery so I wonder how common this really is.

>>9960665
Not every1 has the disposable income for a cosmetic surgery

I think it's about 1 in 1000 people.

I imagine a lot of prospective mothers become alcoholics while they're pregnant.

Nowadays if you don't want your kid you just stop by the abortion clinic on your way to Starbucks and have your child ripped out.
