Post Anonymously in Forums

[IBResource]

This plugin allows your members to post their forum posts and topics as an anonymous user. Meaning the post will not be posted under their regular user account they are logged in with.

You will be able to check the true identity behind posts in the Moderator Control Panel. Posts posted will have a generated identifier code in them, to be able to tell multiple members posting anonymously within the same discussion apart for regular members. Please read further information on this in the setting descriptions.

This is developed and used with the thought of letting members be able to share or ask about sensitive / personal topics in specific forums. The users will not need to be logged out to ask as a guest and you will not have to enable guest posting.

If "Notify me of new replies" is checked when the member reply anonymously to the topic, and they don't already follow the topic, then the follow preference will be set as following the topic anonymously.

This plugin is only made for the Forums-application. There are no immediate plans to make it work for other applications.

The IPS 3.X equivalent of this plugin can be found here: https://community.invisionpower.com/files/file/5982-post-anonymously/

If you used the IP.Board 3.3/3.4-plugin

• Most previously configured settings should work, but it’s advised you look over them. You will at least need to re-configure the anonymous user once more, if you don’t wish it to be posted as a guest under a guest name. 
   
• You may notice that the anonymous identifier code (poster hash) is different within the same topic for the same user compared to before the upgrade to 4.X. This is not considered a bug and new posts posted under this plugin will not necessarily have an identifier code that matches what you would expect from IP.Board 3.4. This should theoretically only be a valid concern for topics where the topic was started by the anonymous user.
