[Feature Request] Disabling of Anonymous Commenting

[AndreasGiesbert]

Currently it does not seem to be possible to prevent anonymous comments to a text. Is it possible to make this possibility optional? I see the use in classroom scenarios, but also the danger of abuse. Thus we would like to give the opportunity to activate or deactivate the function. This is especially important to use the tool for (mandatory) tasks and to ensure a trustful atmosphere.

Kind regards and thanks in advance,
Andreas Giesbert

Hello Andreas,
actually, we have not yet planned to make it optional.
But, we have a "report" feature for unsuitable posts. Everyone can report it to managers. And managers can ask admin for knowing the author of the reported post. The managers can make an action to hide or delete those posts. Is it enough? Or could you give us an example, what a mandatory task could be?

Our scenario is a closed environment of a class where the participants are asked to perform specific highlights or comments to fulfill a mandatory task. E.g. identify and highlight one example for cyberware in the text and elaborate in a comment what makes it unique.

In this case I see no use for an anonymous comment - quite the opposite - other students could be irritated by unfriedly comemnts or - what is more likely - users could accidentially post anonymously, what does not allow to attribute the answer to a person.

We can still work with the tool if anonymous comments can nor be disabled, but I think there are cases where anonymous posting is impedimental.

Hello,

I see, it would be nice to your case if the anonymous commenting optional. We can add this issue to our backlog, but we cannot implement it soon, because we are currently working on another issue und updates.
Thank you for reporting und for using your plugin.

Best regards,
Nisa
