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. [imagem] A new account is created each time someone goes into anon mode so …

[imagem] 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 …

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…

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…

Some members would not feel comfortable enough to openly share information that might be connected to them. Some might…

[imagem] 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 li…

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…
