I have been reading about anonymous posting for Discourse and I want to have anonymous posting on a per-category basis. Here is what I am looking for: Anonymous posting would be enabled by administrators for specific categories User registration would be required for all posting Anonymous posting…

At the moment anonymous posting is possible, yes, but not within the parameters that you’re outlining. Currently (if enabled) it is available at a per member level (across the entire forum) and a user has to be logged in. [이미지] A new account is created each time someone goes into anon mode so adm…

[이미지] HAWK: admins/mods don’t have visibility of who it is (outside of assumptions that can be made around who else was online at the time etc). Actually, last time I tried, which was quite a while ago, Admins can determine the relationships of anonymous posters accounts with their member acc…

Admins have access to everything at the lowest possible levels by definition, this is not a useful observation.

You’re right – this query of yours will do that: SELECT users.username , user_custom_fields.value FROM users JOIN user_custom_fields ON users.id = user_custom_fields.user_id OR users.id = CAST( user_custom_fields.value AS int ) WHERE user_custom_fields.name LIKE 'shadow_id' ORDER BY user_custom_fi…

It would be ideal to be able to track this on the web page in the thread. Allowing moderators to see who each anonymous user is would help determine if action should be taken because they can see if the same user is posting low effort or repetitive content that might pass as acceptable in moderatio…

I know I’m not thinking of all possible use cases where a forum would actually want to allow anonymous posting, but here’s one. A “support” forum, say for example, abuse survivors. Some members would not feel comfortable enough to openly share information that might be connected to them. Some might…

[이미지] r3d_f0x: It would be ideal to be able to track this on the web page in the thread. I was actual positively surprised when I read that [이미지] HAWK: There is no obvious way through the UI I think that if the transparency you’re asking for ever becomes available as a site setting, i…

[이미지] tophee: Going in the other direction, I wonder if discourse is already maxed out in terms of how far it can technically go towards real anonymous posts, i.e. where not even admins can find out who posted something. I know that corporate clients require this from group support systems like …

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…

Actually, last time I tried, which was quite a while ago, Admins can determine the relationships of anonymous posters accounts with their member accounts by running a query in Data Explorer
