Form to post into community to allow for Anonymity

Is there a way to have a form to post into community?

If you're wondering why, I need anonymous posting. I could create a form that would add the post into the community then delete the form entry after posting.

I did see the link below and will use it to develop it if necessary but it seems like this could be an easy solution for anonymous posting. https://github.com/WPManageNinja/fluent-community-docs/blob/master/code-snippets.md#feed-related-snippets

Has anyone done something similar or other to achieve anonymous posting?

Shahjahan JewelΒ thoughts?

How would you expect this to work in practice? Where's the form to go and who is filling it in? On the fluent end, what user is making the post?

Ross HΒ I'd create a special user called "Anonymous" that would post or even if it came from the admin it wouldn't matter (would prefix the title with "Anonymous: ").

Members would be the only ones that could use the form (aka must be logged in to view the form). Many different options as to where the form could go. Even if it's a link with the Fluent Form landing page inside the community.

Ross HΒ Thanks for your question. Putting this link here in case I need to develop (I'm coming up close to the deadline to get it done)

Wendy ShoefΒ does it have to be a fluent form specifically? Could it just be a simple html form that takes title, message, and which group to post in?

Ross HΒ no, it doesn't have to be Fluent Form at all. And yes, title, message and group to post in is perfect!!!

I suggested fluent form since this is for another Fluent product. :)

Ross HΒ I updated the title and description to say form (not necessarily Fluent Form).
