Anonymity Experience (feature) of Quora

Quora, today, posted on its
'QUORA PRODUCT UPDATES' blog that they are 
Launching a new
Anonymity Experience

Here is the summary of the same:

At Quora, we started to rethink the anonymity experience for a few reasons. 

Over the years, many people have expressed how impactful anonymity has been to their Quora experience. By far, the most common themes were that people valued anonymity when there were personal or sensitive experiences involved, or they were seeking or sharing knowledge in controversial topics. 

But, anonymity on Quora is not without its faults. We have also seen the potential for anonymity to be a vector for spam and abuse.

When designing the new anonymity experience, it was important for us to address moderation and abuse issues while preserving the ability to share knowledge anonymously.

Here are the list of changes:
All anonymous content will be reviewed for spam and harassment before receiving distribution. 

You'll still be able to report questions or answers for us to re-review if you feel that we make a mistake or if a different policy is violated.
Anonymity will only be for contributing questions or answers. 

The ability to anonymously upvote, comment, merge questions, suggest edits, send thanks, edit answer wikis, revert edit log operations, or send answer requests will no longer be supported. These features were always the most likely to be vectors for abuse. These actions will now always have a name associated with them. 

Anonymous question editing (including question text, details, and topics) will be reserved for the person who asked the question and all other edits to the question will be public.
Quora's internal systems will no longer connect user accounts with anonymous content they contribute. When we move to the new experience, we will begin removing existing connections in our internal systems. This means that editing or deleting your existing anonymous questions or answers will require an anonymous edit link.
