 Description   

A message posted as anonymous should have:

  • authorId set to anonymous
  • anonymousUsername set to whateverNameTheUserTyped

Instead, it seems like the current implementation:

  • sets anonymousUsername to anonymous
  • adds a name property under a properties subnode with what should be the anonymousUsername value
  • adds all sorts of irrelevant properties under that properties subnode.

Fixing this will also imply

  • fixing the template (currently uses msg.properties.name)
  • providing an update task to fix existing content

Given the thousands of other issues we have open that are more highly requested, we won't be able to address this issue in the foreseeable future. Instead we will focus on issues with a higher impact, and more votes.
Thanks for taking the time to raise this issue. As you are no doubt aware this issue has been on our backlog for some time now with very little movement.
I'm going to close this to set expectations so the issue doesn't stay open for years with few updates. If the issue is still relevant please feel free to reopen it or create a new issue.
