This is my first time posting, please be gentle... I hope this is the right place to talk about this.
Is it possible in Drupal 5 to allow an authenticated user to post a node or comment as an anonymous user?
Example: I am logged in as a regular authenticated user, and normally post content under my username, but I am creating a new node (or comment, etc.) about, say, an embarrassing personal topic, on the site, so I want to hide my username such that it does not display when another user views this one node on the site. It should not display my name anywhere, either the full node view or the node preview, etc. So I would like a checkbox that I can mark when creating a node/comment/etc. to say "post anonymously" so that this one node/comment/etc. will be posted anonymously.
However, the system (and the admin?) should still know that it is my node and so when I view the node, I should still be able to edit it and do any other actions to it because it is my node. It just needs to never be associated with me in the eyes of other users.
I don't think this is possible out of the box? I searched around Drupal.org and couldn't find anything, and I couldn't find any modules that will do this either, but maybe I missed something?
