There are many reasons people use "anonymous" on the internet or even when calling certain places by phone. Some reasons include that the person:

  • thinks it is funny (mostly teenagers)
  • is shy
  • is concerned about privacy
  • feels embarrassed to ask a question AND use any identifying info (name, location, age)

Who or what is the user called Anonymous on WikiAnswers?

Anonymous is not an actual user, but rather an alias for anyone who contributes to WikiAnswers while not logged in. If the website says "Anonymous" did something, it really means that a user who was not logged in did it. For example, a question asked by "Anonymous" is a question that was asked by a user who is not logged in.
