Name: Anonymus Mode
Description: With this plugin, developed during a request of my fellow Zaiendo members, your users can post anonymously.

You have to create one user account (e.g. Anonymous User) first and later your users can (don't need to) add an additional nick to their postings.
The posts/threads will be displayed as posted by the anonymus user but with the username the member entered.
The user who posted isn't mentioned any longer.

If you don't understand this properly (it is actually hard to describe) please view the screenshots below.

Logged in as Lennart. Starting a new thread and adding the username "MyNewNick".
[attachment=17192]
Still logged in as Lennart I do a reply with a different nickname: "Other new nick"
[attachment=17194]
This is how it looks now - thread view with 3 anonymous postings, all assigned to the one anonymous user. My nick Lennart is not mentioned there.

Settings for specific forums. Adding FIDs and UID is REQUIRED!

Do you verify that the nick entered in doesn't match other users' user name? If not, this plugin facilitates users posting as someone else.

Thank you for pointing that out, I should look into that and add a setting to avoid it.

Kind regards

Can ONLY admins be the selected user , as i don't want any my members to be able to do this

I will add a setting for group permissions if a subscriber requests it.

I'm not sure if you intended it that way but it's actually spelled "Anonymous".
