Re: Can I adopt a node? (yell)

You aren't logged in.

Login, Create a new user, or hit "Create" to proceed in posting your node.

No, it isn't trivial to adequately vet that you are the one who posted anonymously. That is part of why we have the big, ugly disclaimer (above) on the Preview page.

We really should add that disclaimer to the "Comment on" page as well. Anybody care to do that?

Update: As for finding your existing anonynodes, you can add them to your Personal Nodelet or your Free Nodelet or vote on them and find them via Your Votes, to give several examples.

Fair enough - thanks for the suggestions about finding the nodes again. In case you log the IPs one could imagine a scheme where a node could be adoped when it is claimed within (say) 10 minutes from a user coming from the same IP - but I would not consider that an urgent feature :-)	[reply]

Which would suck for somebody who prefers to remain anonymous when posting from work / school. Even if she doesn't have a co-worker who takes control of her postings (since most from-work internet connections go through a NATting firewall) she might not even want her co-workers to be able to tell that the posting came from the same place of work. - tye	[reply]

Sure - it would certainly not be foolproof (but then it would not have to be as being able to claim an anonymous node is not such a big deal). And I certainly did not mean that the IPs should be world-visible. But evidently I have not really thought too much about it - just forget about it.	[reply]
