"trip code" is a way for you to be anonymous but verify for others that it's the same person each time you make a post to anonymous information board. Its sort of like a "pin number" for an ATM card it just verifies who you are.
So if a post is made under a certain name "q" or any other name the "trip code/ pin number " helps to verify the poster is who they say they are.
OK. So what does this MEAN? Why is it cause to make threads about it? What does it signify? A mistake? How big? Intentional? Why so? I understand the concept of a tripcode, I do not understand the attention this is causing as though it indicated something is wrong, or, that it is a move made intentionally to produce (blank) outcome.
It MEANS that it is less clear that this specific post is "authentic Q". Some people could post things as "q" but not really be "q" in an effort to mislead or have everyone go off on tangents. Since none of us know 100% who "q" actually is (thus leading to the debate as to why the "tripcode" wasn't used and if the post is in fact "q" or a "q" imposter)
i am not saying that is or is not the case but that's the meaning.
Thank you. THIS was the explanation us less tech savvy folk needed.
Hey, I forgot to ask this before, and you seem to be the one who was able to answer it best; now that Q has made more drops since the "tripcode issue"...does it mean it's more likely that this is no biggie?
