Suggestion/request for BawdyFest

[Hook]

So as I was driving to work today I was dictating a song into my phone like I'm doing right now with this post , so sorry about punctuation problems. I suddenly was inspired to write a second song that has become so inappropriate and offencive and dirty that I don't particularly want to be associated with it.
My suggestion or request, is this, can we set up a member, named Jane John Doe, perhaps that everyone has the password to log on as. Then they can post the song as that member and it can be put in the jukeboxes and be shared with the public without said member being associated with it. Yes I'm sure you'll be able to hear and figure out that it is me or whoever posts but at least it's not in my jukebox permanently.
This is just a thought. My other option of course is to not write this song and dispose of what I have written and never think about it again. Not sure what I want to do but I would certainly post it as Jane John Doe. Thank you for your time and rock on!

Well, for security reasons, we definitely can't have an account with a public password.

I do have a way to exclude songs from your personal jukebox. You just have to send me a PM with a link to the song you want excluded and I'll take care of it. It might also exclude your song from the automatic jukeboxes such as Latest Songs and On This Day. But I'm not sure about that. I'll have to study the code to see exactly which jukeboxes are affected. The song will be included in the festival jukebox, if submitted, since those are added manually.

There's currently no way to post anonymously and I'm not sure if that's something we'd want. I'll have to think about it. Maybe a better compromise would be to allow members to specify a pseudonym in their profile and post under that pseudonym occasionally. Other members would still know it's you but songs posted under your pseudonym would be in a separate jukebox and the general public (non-members) wouldn't easily be able to tell which member the pseudonym belonged to. Realistically though, the amount of coding required to set that up is probably way too much for the limited amount of use it would get.

I'll continue to think about this and see if there's a simpler solution.

By the way, we talked about this a couple of years ago in the following message which has some more ideas, so have another look:
