Yes, the Togetherall community is anonymous, and all interactions between members are anonymous. All usernames should not contain a first or last name, or any nicknames members have been known by. Our team of trained professionals (Wall Guides) monitor the community at all times to protect and maintain the anonymity of our members.
However, if there are times that we have serious and immediate concerns for the safety of members, we do have a process where Wall Guides may seek identifying information from a member we are concerned about. This is limited to circumstances where there are serious concerns about the safety of the member or others in the community.
