Thanks for agreeing with me.
Perhaps this is a perspective we need to examine - how does it impact on posters that we don't have anonymous deputies?
I, for one, avoid posting personal posts to deputies, simply because they are deputies. Not that I have ever had a block (not that I can remember anyway), but if I had received a block from a particular deputy, I think afterward I would hold a slight grudge against that deputy, and perhaps avoid them altogether.
I actually feel quite strongly that deputies should become anonymous and be bound by rules not to tell anyone on babble that they are a deputy, and what their deputy posting name was. I can't help but feel it would be of benefit to everyone in this community. If deputies were anonymous, I for one, would think about offering to become a deputy.
But, all this said, I'm not saying that I'm not grateful for deputies giving up their time etc. Clearly, babble could not function as it does now without their input. I'm just thinking of ways of making it better and more just.
