Personally, I don't see why it isn't set up so that our identities are hidden from even the mods and admins via the same mechanism used for secure PMs.

Why should I be comfortable with a select few individuals seeing who I am. Totally undermines the nature of this forum. The Shroomery is perfectly capable of setting things up so that literally no one can see the author of a post.

Mods need to see who the posters are so we can mod effectively. The way I treat offenses differs for well known trolls or first time offenders. Also since one of the rules that sincerity is required, it helps to know who the users are so I can tell if they are being sincere.
Not all mods can see the identity of anonymous posters, just mods of the anonymous forum.

I made a thread here to kinda test the waters and see just how anonymous this forum was.. and it FAILED royally. The person I tried to seek anonymity from literally PMed me the next day and called me out on it... I cant say for sure, but I would put money down that one of the mods or admins saw the post and told them that I made a post about them. I would NEVER trust this forum as far as I could throw it.

Maybe you were just too descriptive in your thread? Maybe you gave away some detail that made the person who PMed you recognize that it was you.

From what they've said it's not all the mods, just the ones that are moderators of this forum.

Nothing you do online is ever really anonymous. Not 100% untraceable.
It's a good thing. People who feel they can get away with an act scot-free will be more inclined to do so. Adding that hesitation as to whether you'll be found out is beneficial otherwise this thread for example would descend into a flamewar/ trolling etc.
We need systems in place online and in general society to usher us towards the morally correct decision or at least remind us that we can be caught and therefore not to do anything that you wouldn't later stand by.
Ask yourself this, if you knew 100% you wouldn't be caught/ identified, would you be more inclined to commit favourable or unfavourable acts? Society has shown time and time again that idiots will commit crimes thinking they could get away with it.

No one on this forum is truly anonymous, simply put.

Just for the record, administrators of this site *never* give out information about anonymous posters to anyone without their permission. We may contact the anonymous poster themselves, which isn't an issue. Giving your identity to another person however, we will never do that.

Even if legally subpoenaed? You guys (the admins) are going to stand up for an anonymous person? I highly doubt it.

I'm only referring to someone from this site saying: "Hey buddy, who was Anonymous #3? I don't like that dude. Tell me who it is."
Of course, legal matters are different, and we handle those differently, but it also depends on the severity of the case and who is affected by it. I'm not going into the details in that area because that wasn't the original question.
