Clarify signature privacy V anonymity?

There are 2 settings in SpeakOut! that affect the public display of signatures if using the [ signaturelist ] shortcode

The Privacy setting is enabled in the dashboard > SpeakOut! > settings > Public Signature List page. This is a decision made by the site administrator and will display a signature Chris Brown as Chris B.

Anonymity is enabled by the administrator

but is the choice of the signer

In this case, the the signer’s name is hidden from the public completely, but it is sent with the petition.

Be sure to read this before enabling anonymity as it can’t be reversed.
