As many of you are aware, prior to the launch of the Poniverse log-in system MLP Forums allowed users to log into their accounts privately. This allowed users to browse the forum without appearing online, a somewhat popular feature. This feature was disabled when the log-in system was integrated into Poniverse. Does this mean, however, that users are unable to achieve anonymous browsing?

 

Pffft, no.

 

We have an additional way for users to achieve anonymous browsing. All you need to do is send a PM to an Administrator or Team Leader and they will move your account to an anonymous browsing status. After a quick re-log it should take immediate effect. Please note that if you wish to leave the anonymous browsing status you will need to PM an Admin or TL to have them move you back. Additionally, if you are a Subscriber or Donor there is a possibility of the Donor status change making you visible again. Should this happen, PM an Admin or TL and they will fix it.

Sounds like a pain for the Admin or Team Leader.
 

 

It takes me the same amount of time it takes me to type this out. ;)

>Feature that existed since 2013

>Gets noticed on late 2015

 

Anyways, pin this or something. Many users don't know about this, and it would help to make it easier to find for future references.

Actually it doesn't take long at all, about a minute or two of clicking buttons that are dangerously close to the 'delete members existence' button.

Why do Admin or Team Leader need to do it manually now? Is it a secret option in the Profile settings?

That's comforting to know ._.

We have actually done this like this for a while ... we are just formally making the option public (visible).

What if you're deleted, how do you get recovered because I don't feel safe using the anonymous thing.

If that happened I have somewhere else in mind where I'd go :P.

The announcement section doesn't get threads all that often. As such, threads tend to stay within visibility for very long periods. In addition to this announcement we have an FAQ open that explains this. Pinning probably isn't needed in this case, or at least not yet.

I like how it's big red and shiny. Makes the satisfaction more sadistic :P

Yay King! You finally made an announcement! I'm so proud! *wipes tear from eye and claps*

 

I'm glad that members finally know this is an option, though. Some members just prefer to be anonymous.
