[enhancement] anonymous

A way to allow non-registered users to participate — without losing sight of the bot mitigation — might be useful depending on how Agreper is used.
For example, I am looking for a minimalistic forum board for bug report to the attention of users.

It should be pretty easy to register (you don't need an email), so I don't think this is necessary.

I am afraid that this one step is already too much for them. Over and above that, the vast majority should only post once. Keeping their account on the host doesn't seem useful to me.

I think the best way is to make an account with a randomized username when a non-registered user comments. The storage used up by a single account should be negligible. One advantage is that if the user comments multiple times in a relatively short timespan its under the same account.

It's a great idea. This way, you could even delete the registration page, and let people change their username afterwards. To be able to post the first message, the user would have to solve your Captcha, then their 10th message, then their next 20th message, etc. This even could be an option for the admin to setup.

I didn't make it possible to make threads anonymously 🤦
