I'd say leave the function, ^redacted‌ and ^redacted‌ bring up good points as to why someone might legitimately want to pose a question anonymously However, if abused, or someone is using it to hide behind and unprofessionally call out someone else, that can be reported with the existing functionality. If further steps are needed, anonymous posts could be routed through a staff approval before posting (there is a similar function on LinkedIn groups that the moderator can choose to review posts before they go live)..

Although I understand the want to eliminate, I think it should not be eliminated. The primary reason for this is that these posts are very easily accessible and might discourage certain people from asking certain questions if they know that a seller, investor, third party advisor, broker, etc. that they are interacting with for a transaction can read it - to the detriment of the community.
