'Per-Category' anonymous mode

Hi Kris, we are currently using that method and thanks for initially defining it. It does accomplish basically what we need. However, after a test run with some of our users the general feedback was that it was pretty cumbersome to have to manually enter and exit from anonymous mode..

So I have to go in to my profile and change to anonymous mode in order to post in here, then change back after I post?

Not the end of the world, but it would be better if a (sub)category could be setup to automatically generate anonymous posts within it. It would just take the guesswork and confusion out of the equation.

Furthermore, because we just want anonymous posting available only in one single subcategory, you have to go thru and disable anonymous posting in every other category, and also remember to do this for new categories created in the future.

Finally, users still see the “enter anonymous mode” in their profile, and it’s a little unclear to the average user that anonymous mode really just applies only to that one subcategory.
