I'll leave that to the technical gurus that be. Off the cuff, I don't think we'd want to do that simply due to the potential abuse that could occur.

The primary concerns are these:- Anonymous posting (as it currently exists) keeps username associations on the server, though this information is generally only available to the admins (
).
- Providing the same style of anon posting here for the cult forums may result in a false sense of security (
).
- Custom-hackin' the anon feature so that it is truly anonymous may result in unchecked abuse by idiots (
).
- Custom-hackin' the anon feature so that there is a temporary (48 hour?) link to the original poster's account, and then having the server automatically delete the associations, may be a worthwhile compromise (
).
- Such a custom hack requires extra work (
).
It is something to think about...

As much as I'd like to take credit, that was a product of the prodigy mind of Ythan.
