Need to remove ranking badge on anonymous posting
When I post anonymously you can see my “Almost Human” rank. For new throwaways this isn’t an issue but as you get to a rarer rank people can doxx you way easier using the badge
Based on the most helpful WSO content, the concern about anonymity and the visibility of ranking badges is a valid one, especially for users who have achieved a higher or more distinctive rank. Here are a few steps you could consider:
Feedback to WSO: Directly provide feedback to Wall Street Oasis through their forum or contact page. Express your concerns about the potential risks associated with visible ranking badges when posting anonymously.
Suggest Changes: Propose a system where ranking badges can be hidden when choosing to post anonymously. This could be a toggle feature in the user settings, allowing users more control over their privacy.
Community Support: Engage with the community by starting a discussion thread about this issue. Gathering support from other users can often push for changes if many share the same concern.
Temporary Solution: Until changes are implemented, you might consider maintaining a lower activity level or diversifying your interactions to prevent easy identification based on your rank alone.
These steps can help in addressing your concerns while maintaining your anonymity and contributing to the community.
