Hi Guys, I might be missing something here but we’ve got some categories that are trust restricted, there is a use-case for anon posting in these categories. Users who meet the requirements to access the categories and use anon posting mode find themselves too low a level to access back to where th…

If we sync trust level then it kind of makes anon less anonymous, I guess if min posting anon trust level is set to 2 then anon account should be tl2 I am pretty mixed on adding more features to the anon piece cause it feels to me it simply is not anon enough. If you want anon you use a throwaway a…

Is there not a supposition though here that anon mode users are to be trusted? We already have a setting to set trust levels to use the function afterall… I accept freely that if you want to [anon anon] you can use a throwaway and connect via tor. This kind of begs the question what is anon mode fo…

This also breaks the Always-Anonymous Categories plugin when the category has restrictive trust level settings. It would be intuitive to copy the trust level to the anonymous user. On the other hand, this is a broader issue: categories could not just be trust-restricted but they can be restricted b…

Hmm I’m thinking… Inheriting it means you would need to sync it (otherwise other problems would be lurking around the corner), and syncing it would open the door to figuring out someone’s real identity / actual user by observing trust level changes. I think Sam’s idea of setting it to the min anon …

[画像] RGJ: Inheriting it means you would need to sync it Nah, I don’t think that is required.

[画像] codinghorror: That seems easy to me? It is a single account variable we always expect to be there. The risk here is that if you have 3 trust level 4 users, if they go rogue anon, it will be easy to deduce who the anon is. Inheriting min trust level required to unlock the feature though …

[画像] sam: min trust level required to unlock the feature though Oh I see, so you can’t use anon mode at all until you are a certain trust level? Hmm. One thing I don’t like about this is that you have to know the site setting exists, and to change it, versus automatic inheritance of current …

[画像] codinghorror: Nah, I don’t think that is required. Are you sure? Scenario 1: I’m at TL2, an anonymous user is being created, it inherits TL2. I go to TL3 but can’t go and post anonymously in my favorite category. I get a weird error. Scenario 2: I’m at TL3, an anonymous user is being c…

Yes, I’m sure I don’t care about either of those scenarios, as I think they will be so rare in practice as to not matter. I think “good enough” is a quick simple code change to have the newly created anon user grab the current trust level of the user it is spawning from. Probably one line of code? W…

The anon user inheriting the trust level of the original account it was spawned from makes a lot of sense though. That seems easy to me? It is a single account variable we always expect to be there.

Inheriting other group memberships would be HUGELY weird though.
