Zoints Anonymous Posting - Improved privacy for members · **Released**: 10-14-2006

Have you ever wanted to discuss something on a forum but never posted because you didn't want people to know it was you? To solve this problem, we created an anonymous posting hack.

Via the admin control panel, you can easily choose which forum(s) allows for anonymous posting.

For anonymous enabled forums, your members then get this handly little checkbox (unchecked by default) when making a new thread or post.

If they check the box, then their post is created under the account you setup and assign as the anonymous poster. I personally created an "anonymous" username, but you can create whatever you want.

As forum owners, we all know that a few members will choose to screw around with this feature. Therefore we created an easy means to identify who created an anonymous thread/post should the need arise. Please be ethical and tell your members you can see who posted anonymously should the need arise. You can check the log by going here:

And the log looks something like this:

Official support for this modification will take place at http://network.zoints.com in this forum.

Enjoy, click install, check out Zoints' other hacks, have a great day, and all that happy jive.

If one User post anonymous and the second too then the Posting is merged as Doublepost.

DChapman - can you fix this ? One way is to disallow two anonymous postings one after another.

I am wondering about ability for real user to edit his anonymous post?

Two different peoples posts should not be merged. Although it is not a bug and that's the way it was designed it's still irritating :P

Am I seeing correctly that... that is a 3.0.x modification? vBulletin 3.5.x+ has built in double posting prevention that this hack works fine with.

Or am I missing something?

At present time, they cannot edit the post. We *may* build that functionality in at a later time, but i'm not sure. I've used this mod on one of the largest forums in the world and can't remember people having much of a problem with it.

No it was still running with 3.6 and is merging Doubleposts and not only preventing them.

And sorry - i never heard that Doubleposting Prevention is added by Default to vBulletin.

Here is the Link to the 3.6 Product to prevent Doubleposting.
