We're trying to have the best of both worlds.

You are not anonymous to Airtime -- so you can be held accountable for your actions in the public areas of the site. However, you are always anonymous to new people that you meet. We do not send your facebook id, name, or geolocation to anyone you don't know until you mutually friend them.

oh, that's much better. You should make that clear somewhere on the site before starting to chat[1], I signed up and was unaware that I remained anonymous so decided not to go any further. I saw my details listed so made the assumption everyone saw them.

[1] I see "Anonymous You are anonymous until you send an add request" but that's after I started to search for people just now to check, I would never have got that far if you hadn't explained about anonymity.
