I’m coming at it from the other direction to some of the posters here - I’m looking to use discourse for a q&a-style support forum as part of a large college class (400+ students). Currently we’re using Piazza, but I’d love to replace it with Discourse.
Piazza allows students to post anonymously to each other, but the lecturers and TAs can see the names. We’ve found that this helps balance student’s being willilng to ask “dumb questions” with the need to promote abuse.
Is this possible with the anonymity settings in Discourse, or through a plugin?
