The problem with accountability - at least user/publicly-viewable accountability - is that which we've seen right here on QBN/NT over the years. That trust that is given is open to abuse.
If I do a quick user scan of people who've here responded, most of us are essentially anonymous. It wasn't always like this. In the very old NT days, I'd spent a lot of time finding new websites - portfolios and work and such - directly from people's profiles. We were trusting.
Sometimes that trust was abused - I was once a victim of that here, so I nixed most of my personal details and asked a mod (Version3) to delete the post that caused me problems, all because some anonymous cunt on here decided to merge realities and fuck with me IRL.
It annoys me that it is so. There's a few of you here who know exactly who I am in real life, and I wish everyone else could too, should they wish.. but I'm not opening myself up to some limp cunt who's got nothing better to do one day than masturbate, get giddy on too much mountain dew and then phone my employer and fuck with my life (that's not hat happened in my case, but essentially the same level of cuntery).
- Actually, sorry - that is exactly what happened in my case. 'Employer' being 'client' tho.Nairn
- I took my personal information down for the same reasons, employer got a "discrete call about shit I'd been talking on the company". My bad but I've never notben_
- stood behind what I say and thought this was a reasonably safe place. At the time it kind of was.ben_
