In which case it should be some option like Dave suggests where you
select only to join a muc if it matches your preference. That way the
admin knows that the jids will be displayed so making handling
spammers etc easier, but you won't be joined to the muc as you don't
want to show your jid.
The config of anonymous or not however needs to remain the decision of
the muc admin.

Sonny,
It is very relevant to be able to enforce showing the real jid by

administrator in some situations. It also makes it easier to handle
jids that spam muc groups too.
Yes, but there's a policy and a request.
So if I try to join
[email protected], I
might be expecting it to be anonymous, so nobody knows my shameful
secret. But if
Don't forget to remove any identifying information from your vcard
before joining - especially <JABBERID/>. Change your avatar, too.
Moderators in an semi-"anonymous" room must be careful, too... using
that JID in some ways (fetching vcards iirc) instead of the roomjid
will
leak the moderators JID.
an admin decides to make it a non-anonymous room, I'll discover that
too late - even discoing the room beforehand leaves a window of
opportunity to expose my shame.
Registering a new account
([email protected] for example) is a
easier way to protect your secret ;-)

Well I'm not thinking about anonymity, I think about privacy.
You might don't show your JID because you don't want to be spammed
(there can be spammers on the MUC) or just because you don't want
people be able to know your JID for many reasons.
