Zhihu's official account "Zhihu" released the "Zhihu Anonymous Offline Announcement" on July 7, with the following contents:
As an early product mechanism in the community, the original intention of anonymous function is based on users' open discussion and friendly interaction. However, with the increasingly complex Internet communication environment, in order to ensure the benign discussion in the community, Zhihu has completed the development of offline anonymity in the latest version of the App, and recently submitted it to major app stores for review. It is expected to be launched in major App stores on June 14, and the anonymity function will be officially launched in the new and old versions of APP and PC.
At that time, the "Anonymous Publishing" portal will be cancelled, and users will not be able to create questions anonymously or publish content anonymously. For historical anonymous content, users can choose whether to turn it into a real name. Zhihu opposes fabricating false information and maliciously slandering others. No matter whether the content is anonymous or not, it is also supervised and managed by the knowledge community code, and the creator should be responsible for the authenticity and accuracy of its published content. If there is illegal information in the content, the platform will handle it according to the specific content violation category.
Zhihu incentive system
Answering questions on Zhihu is basically based on the instinct of human beings to help others, and by the way, show off how rich their knowledge reserves are. But we can't ask everyone to feel this way every day. Zhihu's incentive system needs to be improved, and some people's questions are not answered, which will further dampen the enthusiasm of users.
There must be many registered people in Zhihu who have such psychological activities. We saw that the questions raised by the original network celebrities were immediately answered, agreed and voted by a group of people; And the question raised by an unknown little coffee, even if full of meaning, was ignored for two days and countless days, and even had no chance to invite others to answer it.
A good incentive system can constantly arouse users' desire to answer questions, and then their own questions can be answered well. This is the real virtuous circle. Otherwise, Zhihu will only become a community where aristocrats and celebrities ask and answer questions.
