    Description

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Cloud. Using Confluence Server? See the corresponding suggestion.

      I like to leave comment posting enabled for "anonymous" users, but I don't like the fact that the database structure doesn't allow for names or addesses attached to those.

      This is a simple client-side (javascript based) patch that modifies the form for anonymous comment posters and forces them to enter a "name" and an address.

      Upon checking, then the comment is modified as follows:

      Name [address] wrote:

      The original comment

      It would be great if this was implemented server side (as it's not very safe done this way) but at least I can track down whoever posts comments on the site.

      Given its client-side implementation, though, now people cannot preview their comments anymore.

      It would be a great feature for 1.4 final (and shouldn't be a big change to implement it on the server side, just a couple of extra parameters to track in the tiny comment-posting workflow.

      Attached is a patch against 1.4-DR4a, you can see it running on http://blossom.betaversion.org/~pier/
