Hi, I’m setting up discourse to be used as a discussion board for a school. One of the requested features was students can make a post where they appear as anonymous to other students but teacher is aware of the individual that made the post. I was wondering if there was any plugin to this effect …

Hi there, You don’t need a plugin – anonymous posting is part of core. You can try it out yourself here. Click the spy icon from the avatar dropdown menu. In your own community you need to ensure that you have anonymous posting enabled in your site settings. [image]

[이미지] david: Normal users can’t see that button on Meta Damn it. I always forget that. You’re right. [이미지] david: I don’t think this bit is possible as part of core?: It is if the teacher is an admin. You can do an IP compare (which almost always works…). Come to think of it, that mi…

Yes, grouping under a common IP would be an issue. Do you have any other suggestions on how admin could be made aware of the individual who make an anonymous post? Thanks

Impersonate and switch should work

Please, could you elaborate on this?

As an admin you can impersonate the anonymous user: [RlG0gko] Now you are the anonymous user: [8DKMBAz] and if you click on that icon you will return to be the original user (not anonymous) who wrote the message.

It looks like there’s a data explorer query for this as well: [이미지] Is anonymous posting possible? Support 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 =…

Quick question Is it possible for two people to share a single anonymous account? The reason I’m asking is if it’s possible, then the impersonate and switch might not be too effective. Thanks

I added a query that works with Discourse v2.3 and newer in Finding originating account of anonymous posts - #8 by gerhard.
