Ok, I see that when create\_shadow(user), it sets trust\_level: 1, and trust\_level\_locked: true. I’ll assume that means anon users will ALWAYS be trust\_level\_1.

Oh, and I haven’t seen the code for it yet, but I’ve noticed that new anon (shadow) users are created for a user after a while, and it leaves the old ones around.

I don’t think these bring me any closer to anon security per category. Does it?
