An anonymous user (often shortened as "anon") is a user who is not currently signed into a Uvias account. They aren't identified by a traditional username; instead, they are assigned a random numerical ID, 1-4 digits long, which changes each session.
An anonymous user's default screen name is their ID, surrounded by brackets (e.g. [1000]). If they have a nickname set, its value is appended to the end, and an asterisk precedes their ID (e.g. [*1000] sample nickname).
