No support by the author.

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.

Hey guys... i've been having some abuse with this hack on my site.

Is there a way to make it so you can only post anonymously when you *start* a thread and not when you reply? the abuse is occuring when people reply anonymously.

I want folks to be able to post their initial thread in comfort but i now want to take away the availability to reply that way.

Thanks & Happy New Year!

Doesn't this hack allow you to determine who made the offensive reply?

yes...but that doesn't really help solve the problem. they know they made the reply, it was intentional, and as far as i know, i don't have a way of changing it over to their individual member name.

I'd rather just get rid of the problem, have the hack avail so you can use it for only new threads and/or reply, so i don't have to moderate more.

I doubt it because it hasn't been updated since 3.6.2

Did the poll issue ever get looked at? Does the author still read this thread? It says "Supported"...

I have seen this work really well on other (non-vb) forums by having multiple anon accounts available. For example, the first person to post anonymously on a thread will be called "anon 1", the next (on the same thread) will be "anon 2", then "anon 3", and so on.

That's the way I'd like this hack to work too. If all the anonymous contributors to a thread have the same name, it's hard to know who is saying what - different and conflicting advice will seem to come from the same person - and it's too confusing.
