I am logged in and went into the /anon sub and was going to reply to a post. I clicked the button to turn off the anon to see what would happen. The popup came up that said "whatever the popup says ..." and I canceled it. Then I started typing up something. I decided not to post it.

I then clicked on the "Voat" logo that goes to the frontpage. Everything on the page: usernames and subs were all anon.

anonwhatever, askanon, anontalk, etc... Subs I've never been to. I'm probably going to have to logout to reset it back to normal.

edit: After posting this the frontpage came up and looked normal with usernames and regular subs but if I click on the Voat logo it still goes to anon usernames and anon subs only.

Logging out and logging back in fixed it.

Anon subs are cool but unfortunately also where trolls go to troll.

Something about trolls they can't help but to game the anon sub for thrills before acting out in other ways.

Those subs should be converted into honeypots for the subversives.

If one submits 5 or more anon posts that score negative within a year, it tags the account.

This would have saved everyone the trouble with the recent (and much-appreciated) egress of 3 or 4 pedophile trolls.

Sadly, at least 1 has already returned with a larger vocabulary (and, most assuredly, already trolling in anon.)

That's a tough one. On one hand anon is good because of the privacy and the other hand you get anonymous trolls.

You sound like a retard. Username checks out.

That is precisely how I visualise @monica! Only about 10% hotter than that.
