Let's play it out though and pull apart why even if you have the best intentions throwaway accounts are still an arse-bandit concept...Even if you are trying to do people a favour or try and make people aware of something you shouldn't use a throwaway account because it has no credibility. Why would anyone listen to someone who pops up with often an issue-related name when it looks so SPANKINGLY obvious that they are either just trying to cause shit or have an agenda? They would not. Just use your real account if you aren't just trying to put your dick in a hornets nest because I doubt most people on here would care if you have an opinion on something, even if it turned out to be wrong. If you were wrong you can just put your hands up and say "My bad, sorry" and it's all done and most people would probably respect the fact you had the stones to say what you thought.Look at how Holly jumped in on saying Tony was busted, prime example of someone who got it wrong but just came back and held his hands up. With all that in mind how can you have any credibility when using a fake account? You can't.Well said Lim,Frankly if I were working for LE I would create accounts like these to spread confusion and distrust amongst SR users - as long as we're second guessing ourselves we're divided and therefore less of a threat to them.This is not to say we shouldn't take reasonable security precautions but we have an entire section of the forum devoted to just that.V.
