Currently, each user who uses the Anonymous account spawns a new user, like so:

The problem is, once a member of the forum realizes who that specific Anon is, their secret cover is basically blown.

I would like to request a feature where anons can all share a single account so as to prevent the leaking of information.

This account should only be able to post (no liking or profile editing), so as to not mess things up for other users. Perhaps editing should be disabled as well?

In addition, Administrators should be able to see who the Anon is. Maybe there can be a “click a button to expose real user” feature?
