Re: [Air-L] Meet the Candidates for the AoIR Executive Committee
Okay following up on this - this is a clear case of candidate fail! I suffered at the hands of the power of default. Our profiles in the AoIR membership system are set to be locked down in privacy terms, and of course this translates into the discussion facility. If you want to comment or are a candidate, I recommend you visit privacy settings and open them up. Of course, I realise some people might want to comment anonymously - if so you you might want to visit privacy to lock things back down! Candidates, we really do need to open up our profiles though otherwise no one can work out who’s saying what unless we put our name at the top/bottom of a post. But also, the discussion digest won’t list your name, just anonymous, if you don’t open it up so any workaround might not be that helpful. Cheers, B. such fail, many redness, much honesty WOW!

Hi all, and Anna in particular,
I¹m copying to the list just so other candidates see this and also anyone wanting to post to the discussion board. I¹ve noticed that even though I was logged into the system when I posted my replies this morning, my post is coming up as anonymous. When I entered my replies to questions this morning, the system did say I was authoring as Ben Light. It seems some other people have also ended up posting as Œanonymous¹ I can¹t see anywhere in the system that I¹ve made an error myself. I know Axel Bruns has managed to post as himself. I also saw Axel today and we checked what I¹d done and he can¹t see anything that differentiates our posts. Any ideas anyone - it¹s gonna get messy if we can¹t see who¹s asking questions and who¹s replying :O)
Apologies if this is a big candidate fail, but I thought either way it¹d be good for us all to know what¹s what.
In the meantime, I have replied to a few posts and popped my name in the text so you can see it¹s me! #workaround
Best wishes,
Ben.

Hi Ben and everyone... I wondered about my sudden anonymity, thanks, Ben, for reminding me to do something about it! ~~Lisa ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lisa M.

Thanks, Ben, for clarifying this! The joys of technology . . . Just an FYI that I've posted questions now to all of the candidate positions. Anyone who is a member (hint, hint, now is a great time to become a member so you can really have an impact on the Association) can post questions to the candidates, and can login to the member site to see the discussion. ~Jenny Associate Professor | School of Information Studies, Syracuse University Vice President | Association of Internet Researchers My Book: Presidential Campaigning in the Internet Age -----Original Message----- From: Air-L [mailto:air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org] On Behalf Of Ben Light Sent: Monday, May 11, 2015 2:47 AM To: air-l@listserv.aoir.org Subject: Re: [Air-L] Meet the Candidates for the AoIR Executive Committee Okay following up on this - this is a clear case of candidate fail!

Ben - Thanks so much for bringing this to our attention. This is the first year we've used our membership system to manage the election discussion, so we really super appreciate any feedback that helps us work out the kinks. I've added a disclaimer regarding privacy settings to the top of the forums. Hopefully this streamlines the process for most (and stems confusion for anyone who misses this thread). Thanks again! -Anna On Mon, May 11, 2015 at 6:01 AM, Jennifer Stromer-Galley <jstromer@syr.edu> wrote:
