anonymous posting

Unsigned online message

Anonymous posting is contributing content online without revealing one's identity.

Forums, imageboards, and some social platforms allow users to post without accounts or under pseudonyms: The anonymous posting policy encourages whistleblowers to share information.

The practice enables candid discussion but also shields harassment and misinformation.

Also called anon posting.
