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.

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.

There's another mod that does that...

Do not need assistance addon functioned, since the forum is not stored!

What do you mean by "the forum is not stored!"?

Zebra · #**138** 03-20-2008, 05:08 PM

Love to have at our 3.7 forum. So if you can make it also for the 3.7 version would be great!

English:

With the version 3.7 RC 1 the Addon does not run any longer. Neither the forum is stored nor can click one in the contribution anonymous. Harm this Addon not one continues to develop for 3.7.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

German:

Mit der Version 3.7 RC 1 läuft das Addon überhaupt nicht mehr.
Weder das Forum wird gespeichert noch kann man im Beitrag Anonym anklicken.

Schaden das dieses Addon nicht weiter entwickelt wird für 3.7 ....

Tyran1 · #**141** 04-08-2008, 06:44 PM

Fixed for v. 3.7 RC 2

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
