Would you prefer it if Mahalo anonymous questions were separated from non-anonymous questions?

I'd like to at least be able to have the option to view only questions not posted anonymously. I think the availability (and probably popularity) of this option might inspire some who post anonymously to post instead as their member identities, which would be a positive thing for the community, I think :-).

I would like to see the anonymous questions go into their own category. I am wondering how many anonymous questions Mahalo gets in one day. What if they stayed mixed in as they are now for a couple of hours, but then after that automatically moved over to a anonymous category that was still easy to access?

Maybe if a question was immediately popular it would just stay in the main group of questions, but if it had received no answers and/or very few views in a couple of hours, it would automatically move over to the anon category.

As you might have read, I wasn't a big fan of anonymous questions when they first appeared and I'm still not 100% about them. Admittedly its mostly because of the silly 'I thought this was a search button' type questions and the silly 'gosh I wrote the word sex' type questions :P If they are filtered out ( and I think the back end dev work is going to do something here ) then I am OK with the anonymous questions being with the rest. If we keep getting rubbish questions then I would move back to wanting them separate.

I've always preferred quality over quantity, but if Mahalo can balance that out then there is no need to filter them on the main page...we can always Spy...it still says whether they are from a member or not :).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
