Reddit cracks down on harassment

while the article doesn't cite any specific cases of harassment on reddit, as an improvement for a website like reddit i'd suggest the implementation of forced anonymous posting. those who wish to reveal their identity; such as when it's necessary to the discussion, can opt-out of anonymous during the act of posting. while this would definitely not curb hate speech or harassment it would remove the ability to track down a specific user and remove the possibility of continued harassment. there is also an added benefit of being able to judge the contents of a post on its own without giving any regard to the person who posted it.
