[Web4lib] "anonymous" online form

Hi,

Our Student Affairs office has asked us to create an online form that 
permits students to anonymously submit reports of harassment/intolerance 
on our campus. We're finding this request to be somewhat problematic. It 
seems misleading to claim the report is anonymous if sender info can be 
traced by our systems office. Also it is the sort of thing that is 
likely to be abused in some way. In those intstances we could be asked 
to trace the source of the abuse -- an administrative headache.

I'm interested to hear if anyone out there has fielded this kind of 
request and/or developed a solution that satisfies the needs of the 
requesting client.
