How can I edit the nickname of anonymous guest commentators

Question

If guest comments are allowed the nickname is made up of email and some name.
The overview shows "User" which is fine to me. But how can editors change that name? This would be necessary to effectively curate the comments.

"User" in the list:

But here I can't change it:

Thanks for any help here.
Cheers.

Additional context

It should no longer show "User" for guests (0b421b3) as of 2.0.6.

But yes, being able to edit it isn't really an option at the moment, we'll have to add it to the todo list.

Hm Ok. So if a guest user choses a name that is offensive or otherwise not acceptable there is no way we can publish the comment without publishing that name too, right?

Are there any other ways to edit that name, aside from opening the DB and changing the name there?
If so, yes please add it to the feature requests. That would be great.

Thanks

No other way, unless manually editing as you mention. You could include offensive values in spam checks, which will also check users' provided names. You could also override the templates to change the display of the user name.

But yep, will add it to the feature list.
