If you don't select "without approval" options, anonymous posts and discussions will not be shown until approved by a moderator.

### 👤 Migrate posts into a newly-created account

[](#-migrate-posts-into-a-newly-created-account)

Once the user has made an anonymous post, he'd be shown a message on the homepage encouraging him to sign up and attribute his posts to his newly-registered account (works by using cookies). How cool is that?! 🤯

### 🌎 Translatable

[](#-translatable)

All strings in this extension can be translated through the [Linguist](https://discuss.flarum.org/d/7026-linguist-customize-translations-with-ease) extension
