Split anonymous settings in voting, comments and posts

We like the setting that users can vote anonymously. But we would like to change this setting for entering new posts, since we receive unspecific posts regularly and have no option to ask questions to the user.
Therefore, it would be great if the settings for anonymous participation would be split up for votes, comments and posts.

Claudia, understand why you'd need this. Do you know there's an option to let users create an account but hide their usernames (Board -> Settings -> Hide usernames). This way you can always collect the user's info and you're always able to notify them when you share an update or ask a question. With the fully anonymous setting, you'll never achieve that.

Hi Mike, thanks. And yes, I know this option. But I still think creating an account (even if the username will be hidden) will stop several users from participating in the voting. And the "hide user" option is a board setting; so everybody (I guess even our internal users) will be shown as "Anonymous", which makes the overall user experience for everybody quite impersonal.
