在以计算机为媒介的群体交流中，匿名使参与者能够发表有争议的评论，而不会有被指控不当行为的风险。虽然这可能会鼓励更公开和坦率的讨论，但它削弱了问责制。此外，匿名评论被认为比非匿名评论更弱。我们提出了一个通信协议，允许用户发送一个强有力的消息，而不必承担单独的个人责任。该系统发布匿名评论，然后呼吁支持者。当收集到足够数量的支持者时，系统将显示所有支持者的姓名作为循环签名。这样就可以防止识别发起人。我们描述了该协议在基于文本的聊天系统中的实现，并报告了我们在两个技术会议上操作它的经验。
In computer-mediated group communication, anonymity enables participants to post controversial comments without risking accusations of improper behavior. While this may encourage more open and frank discussion, it diminishes accountability. In addition, anonymous comments are perceived as weaker than non-anonymous comments. We propose a communication protocol that allows a user to send a strong message to the group without having to assume sole individual responsibility. The system posts an anonymous comment, and then calls for supporters. When sufficient numbers of supporters have been gathered, the system reveals the names of all supporters as a round-robin signature. This prevents the originator from being identified. We describe the implementation of this protocol in a text-based chat system, and report our experience operating it at two technical conferences.
