You've raised some interesting points.

Firstly, Forum members wouldn't know you were a Party member if you didn't tell them or didn't give out obvious hints.

Secondly, the general public has a false sense of security when it comes to privacy and anonymity on the internet.

Using 'handles' or screen names when posting to forums does not cover up or hide your identity. Your computer can be traced quite easily by authorities if they wish to discover where a post originated from. They won't necessarily have your particular fingerprint as the author, but they would know the location of the computer that was used to make the post.

It would be enlightening to learn what the official and unofficial policy is of the Communist Party with respect to internet use of its members. For example what types of sites they can and cannot post to.
