High level, we'd like to let patrons check into classes, dances, and events anonymously. By "anonymous", I mean, if you went to their dancer profile, it wouldn't show any check-ins.
My idea for implementing this would be to keep the normal check-in flow-- the user finds their name in the drop-down and checks in for the class/dance/event, but the information written to the DB is (prefixed for filtering) random strings for the email and name. The user's profile would have a "keep me anonymous" box checked-- for now, I'd like for this to be available on a per-request basis because it sort of pollutes our tracking data-- that we would check at DB write time.
