Is there a way that registered users can submit anonymous entries to the profilebook?

I have a site that will surely result in some critical comments being made about users by other users. Especially given the culture of the place where this site is, nobody is likely to make comments if their name and email are displayed. So... I'm looking for a way to make display of the name and email optional.

I'd also like this.

Very few people will actually comment/rate if they know that everyone else can see what they rated and what they commented, so I'd love the option to make this a secret post if possible!

To hide the email address in profilebook comments open up the file cb.profilebook.php that came in the plugin zip. Then comment out the code on or around line 390:
[code:1]$pEmail="<br />".getFieldValue('primaryemailaddress',$item->posteremail,$item);[/code:1]
So just add // right before $pEmail.

edit line 422 in cb.profilebook.php

from

[code:1]gn=\"top\"><b>".$pname."</b>".$pEmail.$pLocation.$URL.$ip.$pimg."</td>";[/code:1]

to

[code:1]gn=\"top\"><b>".$pname."</b>".$pLocation.$URL.$ip.$pimg."</td>";[/code:1]

seems to work for me - not sure if this is the safest way but it works
