When creating your board you'll find the option to "Show card's author". Keep this option unselected to hide the card's author and make people feel more comfortable adding their feedback anonymously.

Once your board is created, you can still change this setting :

Click on the gear icon on the right
Uncheck "Show cards' author"

Select your board by clicking on it in the "Dashboard" tab
Click on the gear icon on the right
Check "Hide cards"
