Do these work? I can hide the author's name on other nodes (blog pages, cases), but I cannot post comments to those nodes w/o showing the author's name.

Title: Anonymous Comments? » Anonymous Comments? - only with nodecomments

Version 2.x only works in combination with nodecomments, not with plain Drupal comments.

Enabling anonymous comments is difficult to find in 6.x-2.x. This needs documentation.

- Anonymous comments only work when using nodecomments module.
- Enabling anonymous comments is not done on the nodecomment node type itself.
- Instead it is done at the Edit tab of the main node type. So you can decide per main node type if you want to allow its comments to be anonymous.
- E.g. if you want to allow anonymous comments on forum nodes, go to admin/content/node-type/forum. Under "Comment settings" enable "Post comments anonymously".

Thanks. Corrected a typo in the documentation, and made the dependency on nodecomments a bit clearer (not needed if you don't need anonymous comments).

One thing:

Enable "Post anonymously" in section "Submission form settings" of the content type used for comments.

Is this really necessary? I disabled this at my comment content type, and anonymous comments still seem to work.
