@akumbhare This can be done in latest versions.
It's under Settings > Guest. Just tick allow guest handles. It doesn't ask for an email, just a username.

seems similar to the bug https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/3489 so you may just need to update your dependencies (rm -rf node_modules && npm cache clean && npm i).
That worked, thanks!
yo yo - so - i'm digging this software big time. i was posting late at night yesterday bc I'm officially obsessed. I have it running hard on nginx and redis - had to drop the varnish config for it - it was getting cached wayyyy to hard with my setup already.
Anyway my question is about you guys - have you thought about moving into the investment realm yet? Angel.co or angel list - kickstart etc.? I think you have got something here. Only suggestion is to watch the plugins that are being put out.
I'd be willing to get a few campaigns going for you guys - (opensource of course) if you want. Let me know.
I was thinking about using npm to write a few provisioning builds using the plugin dev plugin (that sounded weird as hell) - but was having issues with it - I can totally see one click deploys of like 1000 different stacks/software packages. I'm not a front end guy so I often rely on other people's stuff to build what I want. I wish I was more creative.
Is the graph on the admin side accurate? I took the server down yesterday because I wanted to map out a perfect deploy for this with nginx and a few other packages. Anyway let me know if you guys are interested in "selling out." Node was just bought for quite a bit and this is definitely (in my opinion) other than ghost - the number 1 reason nodejs and npm are so great.
I'm trying to create a user via php to be recognized by nodebb authentication form. I do this via predis, so I can talk to redis via php.
This is the relevant part of the code that creates a user in redisdb for nodebb in php: http://pastebin.com/GZWFvuWc
But sadly, when I tried to login with such created account via php it didn't work and said "User does not exists".
I checked all 'legit' userdata with my userdata created by php and I can't detect any flaws
This is what I told php to create in redis, it's all verified and there:
populate 'user:#' with 22 key's where # is uid
populate 'email:uid' with user email and uid
populate 'group:registered-users:members' with uid
populate 'users:joindate' with 0 and uid
populate 'users:joindate' with 0 and uid
populate 'users:postcount' with 0 and uid
populate 'reputation' with 0 and uid
populate 'username:uid' with username and uid
populate 'userslug:uid' with userslug and uid
What am I missing :C??? I checked redis and the data is all their, but nodebb says the user does not exists
EDIT: I checked the users tab in admin and saw that the username is there that was created from php. After I press the save button on the profile edit page of that profile, that account can then login! how strange. I'm going to do more digging until someone knows what i'm missing here.
EDIT 2: I forgot slugifying userslug:uid in redis. Finally fix it
best approach is what @scottalanmiller said, delete account but keep topic and post maybe with and alias user465 with the id of that account
another option should be the current one, delete all
