Replace username with random user
 

Hi there!

In order to provide some privacy to my users, I need a mod that hides the real username and replaces it with a random "username123". This mod should not interfere with the login interface, where people should still use their real usernames.
Any of you know something about such a mod or something similar to that?
Thanks in advance!

You need to post this in paid section

Why? He's asking if anyone knows an addon that does this, and that's perfectly ok.

@OP: I do not know of such an addon, and it would be quite a task to do this, since you would have to manipulate the usernames displayed at many places and undo the post's connection to the poster.

You know, Germany will reach World Cup Final :D

This would require quite some hooks, but shouldn't be too hard.

For example, in the showthread_postbit_create hook you can do something like:

Now it's just a matter of checking if someone their username has to be masked and implement it at all required hooks.

Saw this awhile back might be just what the Op is asking for.

No v4 version found however.

However it is listed by Joe aka BoP5 as compatible.

The v4 fix is here:

Depends on what the OP wants. I understood that he wants the posts linked to the actual user account in the database, but the real username be hidden.

The Zoints addon assigns the post to a custom user, it then is not linked to the user anymore at all.
