sorry, it did not see this: [Can staff be able to see real author of anonymous posts - #6 by Un3qual](https://meta.discourse.org/t/can-staff-be-able-to-see-real-author-of-anonymous-posts/33488/6)

and i did not notice that this even has a query in it:

> [@Is anonymous posting possible?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/is-anonymous-posting-possible/66453/5):
>
> 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\_fields.value There is no obvious way through the UI though.

so i’m off to try this out.
