Public bug reported:

New Feature Request
Provide an option within group forums for the adminstrator to set a forum as anonymous so that user id isn't pulled through to display on the forum.

Use case - for support groups where users may be put off asking for help
if others can see who they are. This would cover a range of scenarios,
from technical support (eg user doesn't know how to do basic computing
tasks) through to personal / confidential areas such as disability
support, gay/lesbian student society, or groups for topics such as
stress management. Having the option of anonymous posting would enable
users to ask questions and receive answers in confidence.

May want to consider an optional setting within anonymous forum where
only forum moderators are allowed to reply to a message - as well as
having option for anyone to reply or post.

Regards, Gordon.
