Permit moderators to view what anonymous user uploaded a post
For booru sites with anonymous uploads as an option, moderation is a bit of a hassle, as there is no way for an moderator to view what anonymous user submitted a post. It'd be nice to be able to preserve the uploader as an extra permission, even when the post is uploaded anonymously (when possible; I recognize that this won't be possible for szurubooru sites that offer accountless uploads).
The usecase is basically:
- Imagine user
X
submits a lot of extremely illegal content to sitefoo
. - If
X
did so without checking the upload anonymously box, site moderation offoo
would be able to remove this content and remove the account of userX
for submitting this sort of content. - If
X
did check the box,foo
's moderation team would be unable to determine who submitted this illegal content and therefore would be unable to remove the account ofX
for doing that.
This would de-anonymize the user (obviously, in this hypothetical scenario that's not a bad thing), thus making "anonymous" an inaccurate descriptor..
There are many reasons a user may want to upload something to a website with the security of anonymity that are not for illegal purposes.
