If one of us becomes famous, would AnandTech protect our privacy?

[StormRider]

Let's say one of us becomes President of the US one day. And he/she goes down in history as the best US President ever because he/she established world peace, created a just world society, and the economy was booming during his/her tenure. Also, people just became nicer as a result of the presidency.

Now, hundreds of years later, historians began researching the life of this president and discovered that before he/she became president he/she was an active member of the AnandTech Forums. However, during their result, they found all his/her old posts and discovered:

90% of the topics were about small penises, skid marks on underwear, trying to decide which store (for example, Best Buy or CompUSA) had the better looking girls, farting etc. Now, this would probably be considered embarrassing.

So, my question is, "Does AnandTech protect the privacy of its members?" so that all its members are free to try to become the "best that they can be" and not worry about the past haunting them? Well? !?!? What do you think?

I've got nothing to hide.

I would think that an AT member would become infamous well before one becomes famous!!!

Well all the posts are publically viewable, even the archived ones. If you ever give away enough info for people to figure out who you really are then you're screwed I guess.

 

[Cyco]

You were screwed when you made your first post. Sorry.

Why would anyone who has been dead for hundreds of years care? Oops, if you're dead, you can't care because you're dead.

This is less thatn pointless.

I submit this topic for the brain dead post of the year award.

Anandtechers are too smart to be president so no, not gonna happen.

What I post here I would say to someone face to face, so I don't have anything to hide.

Don't put anything into a PM that you wouldn't want published somewhere.

lol, i'm unelectable. i'm sure most of us are now so many things to take out of context. the kittens alone would be fatal hahaha

 

[tweakmm]

what privacy?

 

[gopunk]

sometimes i wonder if i talk too much

the only circumstance where i can see this really being an issue for most people is if someone was accused of a crime, and they pointed to some post on anandtech that could vaguely be construed as a threat or something.
