Anonymous Imposters?

Hello!

I’ve been using this great plugin but I have a critical question.
My site is built for anonymous users and this creates a serious problem.

Let’s imagine a scenario that a user posts his first comments with a nickname.
Then second person comes and comments, pretending to be the first one, since he can fill in the same nickname, so no one knows who is who and everybody can be an imposter that way.
This can create a pretty big confusion and frustration.

Is there any way to resolve this for non-registered users?
If not, the simplest solution would be to remove the whole username field so nobody can have a name, thus be cleaner in a way.

Can this be done?

Please let me know.
Thanks!

Hi Catmaniax,

Thanks for your question.

In this case you can set as non required field, and with the help of CSS you can hide those buttons. So, all those users will comment as anonymous.

Thanks for the reply.

Another issue I'm struggling with is the total comments count. I have tried Super Socializer and Comments Evolved along with WPDiscuz but it always displays only the wordpress comments count number.

I want it to display the whole comment total count.

Is there a way this can be done?
Thanks!

Catmaniax,

When you deactivate wpDiscuz, what count it shows?

It doesn't change a thing in the count.

I want the total comment count number for default wordpress comments + Facebook comments.

Catmaniax,

What  Facebook comments do you mean? What comment system do you use right now? You are asking about wpDiscuz, but what about Facebook comments? What exactly do you need? Please tell me.
