The best threads in this section are usually started by outraged people who want everyone to know exactly who they are and why they are pissed off.
Talking shit without revealing who you are in game is highly relevant to credibility, bias, and your motive for posting.
With certain exceptions (whistleblowers who want to post facts and spill the beans anonymously, people like Venekor who were at least very literate), most anon posters probably aren't well respected on their server, probably haven't accomplished much in game, and probably are jealous of the person or guild they are flaming.
People who post under their main character name and guild are usually given the benefit of the doubt and assumed to at least be honorable until proven otherwise. That's because they put skin in the game and took a risk by starting shit without hiding who they are.
Anon posters usually don't get or deserve the benefit of that doubt. Instead, they are usually presumed to be a shitty player and whining pussy until proven otherwise.
As you can see, the burden of proof is not in your favor.
I give this thread only 1 star so far, but I'll wait a day before rating it to see if the OP can do better.
