Is there a way to allow posting anonymously without users signing up in Discourse?
Not while signed out, only users that have an account, you can enable " Allow Users to switch to anonymous mode" site setting in your forum, for users to be able to switch to a completely anonymous account.
If you use email-in, you can setup an email address for a category that will enable “anonymous users” to participate. This requires “staged users”, then in a category :
You need to setup the engage@example.org email address to forward to your installation’s discourse email (the one you POP.)
That looks like a good idea! I followed your link to staged users and do not understand the connection. Could it be that you linked the wrong URL?
Yes, you’re right. I corrected the link.
I have enabled this setting, however, I’m not seeing how you can switch to an anonymous account? How do you do this?
Click or tap your user avatar at the upper right, then the spy / anonymous glyph.
I think they’re talking about staged users here though…
Staged users haven’t logged in so that doesn’t make sense to me? You must log in to be able to switch to anonymous.
Agreed. I think there is some confusion stemming from this:
Yes! Thanks for that. Didn’t notice that inconspicuous little icon before. ![]()
Do you understand that a staged user won’t be able to do that though? They are only interacting with the site via email.
Yeah… Not a problem. The only users I’m concerned about are registered users on my site.
Por lo que sé, esto no es una función principal, no está disponible en un complemento y no está planificada en el núcleo:
Para tu información, se han solicitado varias veces tres funciones de publicación anónima. Solo una está implementada:
permitir que un usuario registrado publique de forma anónima (mientras está conectado)
permitir que un usuario no registrado publique de forma anónima
permitir una categoría que solo tenga publicaciones anónimas, es decir, incluso los usuarios registrados solo pueden hacer publicaciones anónimas
Me encantaría ver que estas dos funciones también se implementen:
- permitir que un usuario no registrado publique de forma anónima
- permitir una categoría que solo tenga publicaciones anónimas, es decir, incluso los usuarios registrados solo puedan hacer publicaciones anónimas
