Anonymous discussion fora (anon.[whatever]) assign a unique alphanumeric to each account for each thread, so you can see that the same person's been posting over and over in one thread but you have no idea if the same person has posted at all in another thread unless you recognize the writing style; public fora (public.[whatever]) use real names. Posts can be flagged as unproductive and hide/disappear after they're flagged too much (disagreeing posts aren't flagged, posts like "first" or "ur gay" are). Mostly it's as horrifying as the internet, just without that kind of unproductive posts.
sites/virtual discussion areas/fora:
- anon.vote (for voting only, no discussion or anything)
- anon.debate (anonymous debate about anything)
- anon.nsfw (several subfora)
- public.announcements (tends to be a mix of official announcements and stuff like "I lost my [whatever], if you see it return it to [person] at [place]" and "Japanese lessons, Fridays at 2 in the mess hall")
