 * Is it possible to allow posts without author?
 * I use the “Directories Pro” Plugin to rate places. When guest users rate places,
   an Admin has to publish the rating. Behaviour without Co-Authors is an empty 
   Author-Field, which allows the plugin to add the information of the guest raters.
   With Co-Authors the current user is set as Author when saving the rating and 
   it’s not possible to have an empty author-field. Is there a way to avoid that
   behaviour?
