ability for members to post anonymously

Apr

2008

On my site a lot of members ask for help and advice and some have said they feel like they can ask if it better if they could post anonymously ie go into profile and click post anonymously to post and ask for help and advice without people knowing it is them.

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this but i think its a great idea

i think its great idea,as long as admin can still see who it is i think alot of people would ask more things they really want the answers too with out everyone knowing its them.

Anyone else?

Yes I think this is a fantastic idea, I really hope they give this the go ahead

I think this is a great idea, I think the admin should see the user though. Very Happy

5 kylesmummy06, on 16/04/2008 at 11h58

yes admin can see who is the poster but no one else

The admin should also be able to make it possible on only the forums the admin chose

I think it's a lame idea

If you can't dare voice your opinion and stand up to it, then it's not really an opinion

Also, I can already see alot of stupidities going on because members can "attack" each other anonymously >.>

i agree with caihlem

Caihlem had a point but it would be nice for admin to be able to see who posted to give a ban to who attacked anyone.

50 50 so won't vote.

I dont mean for opinions i mean some members on my site have came to me requestuing if they can post annon as they have a problem and dont want anyone to know its them etc and would like help or support

They could just post as a guest and say they are a registered member trying to keep their name hidden... That's really all you have to do. Very Happy

Hope this helped!

I say no.

Wouldnt be possible for them to post as a guests as guests cant see anything on my forum except rules and announcements and also cant post on it due to spammers

You can have it set in your permissions for guests to be able to start new thread and reply to current ones

yes i know that but then when i have that people come on spamming about other sites

16 Dana, on 25/04/2008 at 04h18

i happen to agree with Caihlem. I know on my forum that my member's want to see who is posting. Plus isn't there that option already in the admin. panel? I for one want to see who my member's are. so No for me.

17 kylesmummy06, on 28/04/2008 at 12h58

Need more votes please iv seen this on other sites and a lot of members like it

18 kylesmummy06, on 02/05/2008 at 17h59

Need more votes.
I have made it so guests can post which has caused problems as they keep spaming that forum. Also it can take like 3-6 attemps for it to work to
