"Keep identity private" use case when strict-anonymous enabled? #69

Closed wcaleb closed 6 years ago

wcaleb commented 6 years ago

It's unclear to me what "Keep identity private" does if admin has enabled BOTH "Allow non-registered contributors" and "Allow anonymous contributions."

Say someone enters their (optional) email address, but then checks the "Keep my identity private" checkbox. The checkbox implies that the user's identity will then be kept secret even from administrator, but in the case described above, the guest user account created with the email address is still attached to the item. That is, the checkbox doesn't override the email address.

So is there anything the checkbox does that simply leaving the email address blank wouldn't already do?
