Hi, first timer here. I'm glad to see that you're responsive to peoples issues, but I still have some questions about your plugin before I purchase. The plugin description lacks some information
1) How does the anonymous random ID work? Does one user always have the same ID, or does a new one get randomly generated every time a user posts? In fact, what is the purpose of this anonymous ID?
2) How does a user anonymously post? Is there an option to post anonymously underneath the reply box? It looks like the bottom of your screenshot has an option to "Posting as Anonymous?" but it is cut off
3) In the event the plugin stopped working, or I uninstalled it, do the usernames behind anonymous posts become exposed? How does the anonymisation work in the database to prevent leaks?
4) Similarly, if the plugin was for example, abandoned, could another developer fix the plugin or create a new one that works with the anonymous data that your plugin created?
5) How do I as an admin see the username behind an anonymous post? Can I enable certain usergroups like moderators to also see the username behind the post?
6) Does the $30 price include future updates? Does it need any renewing?
7) Can the plugin also be installed in a private and password protected development/test forum?
8) Would this work on a pirate copy of XenForo (I have some issues with their ethics)
Sorry for the amount of questions, but this would be the most significant part of my forum and the only plugin I would use, so it has to be right for me.
Thanks!

2. They must be check the box in the editor; otherwise, the post will be normally.
3. Posts were created by anonymous still being anonymous even disable / uninstall the add-on.

1) Does the random string carry across threads? I understand that one user posting in the same thread will be the same ID, but if that user then posts in another thread, is it the same ID or will it be different? (I think different is better so they can't be linked between different threads)
2) How would staff with correct permissions actually see the real poster? Does an icon become available, for example?
3) What is the renewal cost? I have read it may be 50%, right? Am I able to not renew, and then renew again later at the discount?
Thanks!
Brilliant, thanks for the clarifications. I have some further questions:
