When you first engage with a topic, the platform will ask if you want your response to be shown on the website, you can choose “Yes - show it with my name” or “Yes - show it without my name”. When selecting yes, you must register and sign in, this will allow the public to view your “registered” response. To submit an anonymous response, you must select "No - just show it without my name to staff" and you will not need to register.
