They did and now don't. I'll get them back for touch screens today or tomorrow

Another good point.
How about: once a question is reported the person question asker appears for moderators.
Or I could simply make the question poster appear to moderators regardless.

Simple enough solution.
I don't care which one you choose.
But personally I'd do the simplest one, as you have already chosen to trust moderators/protectors.

It's moot since I can't even reach the right side bar (Discussions, Questions, spam and approvals) on an iPad.

Hi,
Just my 2 cents:
If you could read the internal employee message boards/mailing lists at one of the largest software companies... you'd see the same thing... the senior engineers hardly ever ask any questions. I think it's simply because they are the most experience problem solvers. Almost any problem can be solved with a debugger and 1 experenced engineer.
It's an interesting idea but I highly doubt you'll see any change in the numbers.
Are you working with some other dataset I don't know about? Are you seeing high rep members creating sockpuppets to ask questions?
Best Wishes,
-David Delaune

Hmmm, you have a point, but I suspect that it does more harm than good. Ya gotta try though.
Primarily I agree. I ask very few questions and when I do have something I might ask about, I try to do as much as I can to diagnose the issue and give a full accurate description -- often with the result that I solve it myself. And maybe write a Tip.
But when there is something that still eludes me, I have no issue with asking -- I so want those other two platinums!
Maybe give members above a certain reputation the option to obfuscate their name?
Maybe similar to the option I have of posting as myself or as my Group?
Sinerely,
Member 2587207

I think you are spot on with this.

That is really a very personal Statement: In case a member thinks he is to good/high rep to ask a question un-anonymously (how this would really called this un-anonymously?), he does not deserve an answer!
As a voice of low rep members I still would like, that questions can't be downvoted.
Only my two Cents to the discussion.

It's not about being too good to ask a question. It's about worrying what people would think if they asked a dumb question.
It's a small percentage of users for sure but it got us thinking "why do we need to identify the person asking the question at all?" Hence the experiment.

"if they asked a dumb question", I think that is exactly the same like "to be too good, to fail". But nevertheless a good Experiment, looking Forward for the results (if the results would ever be published).

Personally I think this is a good idea. Benefits I see:
- Question from a user with lower reputation is not so easily down-voted. The vote is probably is more related to the question itself. Probably also applies to high rep questions.
- Personally I'm not worried if the question is dumb or not, but I think that some people are afraid of answering a question from a high-rep user. Anonymous questions should help that.
Few problems
- If the question is inappropriate, how do I report the user?
- If the OP posts a comment to the question, I can see who he/she is. Shouldn't also the OP's comments be anonymous

Imagine, a question is not clear enough and some one is posting a comment to bring lights to the question. High-rep member reply the question and His comment is visible. In this case everyone knows who's an author of the question.
Personally, i don't afraid to ask a question, because nobody's perfect and does not have enough experience in everything he starts to work with.

[EDIT]
On the other hand, how can i report a user who's posting spamm on QA forum?

Only FYI: It seems not to be completely anonymous. Having a look to the source of the question one will see the author information of the question.

Bruno, i can't find a way to take " a look to the source of the question"
Where can i find such of functionality?

Hello Maciej
With source I mean the html source. The following I did with IE 11:
a.) Open a question
b.) Right Click in an empty space so that IE context menu will be displayed and choose "View Source"
This lets you see than something like this:
"author" : [{
"@type" : "Person",
"name" : "Member 1##9",
"url" : "https://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=1##9"
}],
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

OK. Got it.
Thank you, Bruno. Nice to "see" you.

It's not meant to be truly anonymous. You can go to a member's profile and see their questions, too.

When I'm logged out and look at a question, the author is indeed invisible. But when logged in, it shows up. As you didn't mention any exceptions to the rule of invisible names, I'm wondering: is that a bug, or by design?

An exception was made for Moderators.

Not really a question, but I thought you'd like to know I have added your CSystemTray class from 1999 into a new project, where it will probably reside for the next 20 years.

Chris, Did I piss someone off? My messages all all being flagged as potential spam, although they are not.
Also, my reputation points seem to have disappeared, as well as my icon for subeditor.
What Did I do? If I abused the site or something, I assure you it wasn't intentional!
Greetings,
Walt

Sorry I just saw this message.
No, you certainly haven't pissed us off. Have you changed email or deleted articles or posts? Have you made any changes to your account?
I'll dig in once I know which direction to start digging and get this sorted.
cheers

Have you ever seen an article appear on the homepage and not had time to read it? We've added a small tool that will allow you to mark articles to be read later.
Once you've clicked the read later button your reading list will appear at the top of the page next to your name.
We hope this makes life a little easier.
cheers
