discourse-reveal-anonymous

Allows anonymous users to have their true identity revealed by staff.

This plugin adds a small note to an anonymous user's profile, and to any cards that display their info.

Examples

In each case, the user "anonymous" is actually "tfpk". You can see their real name next to an icon.

Card Example

In this case, clicking "tfpk" will take you to his profile.

Profile Example

In this case, clicking "tfpk" will show a card with a summary of the user.

Security

This plugin (even when not enabled) adds a master_user field to the json description of a user. If not enabled, or the user is not an anonymous account, or the logged in user is not allowed to reveal anonymous accounts, master_user is null. As a result:

• It is possible for any user to tell this plugin is installed
• It should not be possible for any non-staff user to get any extra information about an anonymous user from this plugin. If you find a bug, please submit a PR, or an issue.

This plugin was based on the Discourse Anonymous Moderators plugin.
