When enabled, commenters can post with just a display name (no email required).
Comments are attached to UserSurrogate instead of User.

Trade-offs for anonymous commenters:

  • No email notifications for replies
  • Cannot edit their comments
  • Cannot log in to manage comments
  • No cross-site identity

Works with existing moderation (hide_unless_approved) - anonymous
comments are never auto-approved when moderation is enabled.
