Anonymous Posts Backend Fully Functional

[Abdallah-Abdaljalil]

We need to add backend functionality to handle anonymous posts made through our discussion forum platform.

Dependencies:

• Anonymous Posts Frontend/UI #5
• User can Post as Guest When They Choose to Post Anonymously #37

The anonymous posts functionality heavily depends on the front end to test whether our back end functions when the user requests to post anonymously. Additionally, we are building on the idea that the user will be a 'Guest' or whatever it is when they want to post anonymously. Hopefully through this mechanism, we can force the username and whatever else to be 'Anonymous' instead.

Acceptance:

This would be considered to be complete if when a user picks to post anonymously, they create a post that does not reveal their identity and the username displays 'Anonymous'.

Thursday, Sep 26 - The reason this was not complete by the end of sprint 1 is the amount of time it took to find files. Unfortunately, this is a recurring issue or theme in our group, however, we have gained lots of knowledge about the codebase. Hopefully, we transition to the back end very soon for anonymous posting.
