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.

Thank you DChapman,

good work.

Is this anonym able to edit his post? I think that will be very handy .-)

Situation:
I have a use for this - so that my members can list their biznis in forum-biz-listing.
Some of them do not want to reveal link between their company in listing and their nickname. Then I told them not to be worry - you can send it anonymously. But what will happen when they want to edit the listing?

Although I have removed name from listing, if I do not use anonymizer they can be find by searching-options... That is why I have a use for your hack...

I found one hack that is able to make anonymous posting along with leaving ownership and options to original poster. Here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=128985
but that is just for its own use I guess.

Thanks,

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