Type: Enhancement

Priority: P3

Current state: All posts require identity.

Proposed improvement: Allow community admins to enable anonymous posting per forum. Posts display as "Anonymous Member" publicly but identity is visible to moderators. Useful for sensitive topics, feedback forums, and support communities.

Resolved. Anonymous posting is now available per forum. Admins enable it in forum settings ("Allow anonymous posts"). When enabled, a "Post anonymously" checkbox appears on new thread and reply forms. Anonymous posts display as "Anonymous" with a secret-agent icon. Moderators (role 3+) see the real identity with an "anon" badge. The real user_id is always stored for moderation.
