The point of the Anonymous poster option is suppose to be so you can post personal information without being judged. However most people on this site try to use a writing analyze to guess who wrote what. In fact I bet some people have guessed who wrote this story already or are attempting to.
Sounds like you're just being paranoid. Yes indeed though, if you stay here long enough and post often, people will start to recognize your style. Tis the nature of the site.
In all honesty, with a few users here pretending to be several different people, of each gender, from different locations, I think it has encouraged an atmosphere of mistrust and second-guessing to sort it all out in our own heads...
...if nothing else, just to tame the chaos some.
That's going to spill over into guessing posters as well.
Here's an idea, don't post about weird fetishes for underage children and corpses and there'll be no need to fear being identified.
There's no such thing as completely anonymous online, at least that's the belief I go by. Say things you won't regret and you'll never regret them. Even on here you gotta be careful what you say. Chances are you'll be judged whether people know who you are or not.
Also I gues. The solution would be go on a mass genocide of everyone who uses this sit. Which I'm ok with
I don't think many people consciously try to guess anonymous posters. But if someone writes in a really distinctive way you can't help but know exactly who it is.
I cant guess who people are. I also know others who cant. We sit here trying to figure out how it is you all are identifying them.
Imagine someone you know in real life decided to greet you wearing a mask, new clothes and something to disguise their voice. You'd still recognise them because you know their personality and the sort of things they say and the way they say them.
There's nothing systematic or deliberate about it. It's just being perceptive, and there are plenty of perceptive people on this site.
You seem to believe that this stuff works on the internet which it does not. You can not hear, see or touch a figure online. All you have is words. Why things like sarcasm do not translate well. In fact the only way you can do sarcasm is if something already had a negative connotation.
An example of this is "Yeah right". Certain phrases unintentionally bring up negative connotations often because they are phrases which are overused sarcastically. So now everyone views them as sarcastic, if they are meant to come out this way or not.
So its silly that you make it seem as though we can actually see the person we are talking too since generally we cant. That is a awful comparison and it does not apply at all to this discussion. That would work if we were talking about real life but you must remember this is online. So identifying someones writing is completely different from identifying a person in real life.
Which either means that this is deliberate or something some people simply pick up. That is like saying everyone is going to use a computer and automatically figure out to hack. Not everyone is going to learn how to hack. Some people are also taught to hack. You can not assume simply having a computer makes you a hacker. That is a silly notion.
