Re^2: New Feature: Claim anonymously posted nodes

Because of the "new account" option, I would be wary of only having it in the Approval nodelet -- since newbies don't see that node by default, as far as I remember. And XP nodelet seems the wrong place, though it would be something easily visible.

Testing briefly as AnonyMonk, I see that Node Status nodelet is visible anonymously, so I am guessing it might be one of the default nodelets for new users as well. (Mine was off, but I probably turned it off years ago without having thought about it.) Assuming it is on by default, it seems like a good place, with the Approval nodelet as a good second place.

I'd also think that adding logic could give reasonable decision criteria for also adding the "Claim this anonymous post" link that shows up at the top of the post:

if logged-in IP Address == IP Address of the anonymonk who posted the current anonymous post
⇒ probably more visible to a newbie than one of the nodelets, since newbies might not have fully explored all the contents of the default nodelets, let alone nodelets they don't yet know about.
... OR if both Approval and NodeStatus nodelets are turned off
⇒ in order to catch those experienced monks who had previously customized their nodelets sidebsar by removing both, before this feature was implemented.

I happen to have a new test-user, these are the top 4 nodelets. `* Settings Nodelet My info User Display Nodelet Timezone Signature Newest Nodes RAT Style + Free Nodelet Personal Nodelet Message Pmdev ignored users * Domain Nodelet www.com \| www.net \| www.org * Chatterbox and all is quiet... How do I use this? • Last hour • Other CB clients ** Other Users` [download] I never said "only nodelet", just that non-beginners will have no problems to activate approval.

I happen to have a new user, these are the top 4 nodelets. Thanks for checking. I guess there aren't any nodelets at the top of the new-user list that would really be appropriate for this button; that's a bummer. (I was surprised at how high up on the sidebar the Node Status nodelet was for Anonymonk, so I thought it might be similarly-placed for NewbieMonk.) I never said "only nodelet" Understood. I wasn't trying to argue with you; I just wanted to express my opinion, prompted by your suggestions, that if it is in the Approval nodelet, it should also be somewhere else.	[reply]

After some heavy meditation while frying my dinner... The msg-author-link `Send private /msg to XXX` is the perfect spot to position that feature. private msg is anyway deactivated for anomonks the code implementing the Message Outbox just needs to be either cloned or special cased to handle anomonks. i.e out of the box a 2 click interface the node in question is automatically included it's self documenting since it has a documentation area at the bottom If anyone is worried about the handful of new users who can't find the claim-button, highlight it till they reach level 10 or something... All problems solved. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) see Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply] [d/l]
