Glad to see someone made it happen as this has been a popular request. Everyone should strongly consider spam issues though - akismet allows a great deal through and you might be in for some surprises.
How does this behave with other plugins? I know I check bb_current_user_can a great deal, does this modify roles and permissions?

it does change anything much.. it adds write_posts and write_topics when processing bb_post.php

Can a guest set a name and will this name be stored in a cookie or something? Or will his name just be like: guest_2435?

I've added capability to set custom text like - Guest or Visitor or something to anonymous user in options in the trunk.

I' m using this and get quite a few spam's. Even if Akismet catches them, I'm using the "Moderator New Post Notification" plugin, so I get an email for every spam.
One thing that would be great is a "human-test" feature that could go with this plugin, something like the human test for registration plugin, http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/human-test/.
I don't have the skills to put that together, but if someone would have a go at that I think it would be great!Posted: 2 months ago # -
Hey so1o,
*edit* OK. It wasn't that hard to find. Would it be possible to have this as a user definable field? I know it's another db field to worry about, but it would be very useful.
About the custom text has been added to the trunk. Will it be available in the current version soon, or is there cvs access? I'd really like to try it out.
Thanks!

It's occurred to me that a handy addition would be to allow anonymous posting on certain sub-forums only. Should be fairly straightforward to implement?

Hmm why not make this more WP alike?
So a guest can fill in his name and e-mail adres (for gravatar) and this is stored in a cookie.
For some extra anti spam, use the human test plugin (or extend it) so that when not logged in, show/add human test underneet each form.
To make it more simple: When logged in, use normal form else use guest form (name, email, human test).
Or can't forms be filtered/hooked?

Yes, that would definitely make this plugin more viable. Integration of a human test and a name for each anonymous poster would be very useful.

Since bbPress 1.0 will allow "display names" like WordPress, storing a self-selected name for the anonymous user should then be more easily possible, though there is still no meta for posts so I am not certain how this will be stored.
