Guests posting? - Guests...

DarkstriderX · 11-23-2004, 07:41 AM

I dont think that guests have the right to post in our forum.. They should however join up if they feel that they have to something to imply.. Just a thought.. Turning off the guest can post feature.. Let the bunch of lazies sign up with us first.

I think that the "guest can post" feature is turned on because.. if they aren't active (and most guest no this, i guest that's why they do it), they shouldn't even sign-up on the forum =/ And most of the time, when you see a guest they post and leave right? Heh.. i guess that's why guess have the right to post =/

Well.. guests should be able to post.

What if the person is on a school computer, and it takes a long time for he/she to login? He can just go to the forum on a guest name and post.. and just put at the end "this is (whatever he/she username is on the forum.)

^ nice point bob....
i didnt think of that but yeah it makes since now but i also see dark's point of view...... well if youthink of it this way ifur at school and cant log in,to post, then if its important enough u'll post it when u get home.... or perhaps u cant get on at home b/c ur compy doesnt work and so u can only go on at school then i guess the feture is valid... huh?... well 1/2 dozen in one hand and 6 in the other, either way lets just leave it he way it is i mean i rarely see that many "guest" posts any way :biggrin:

yeah the only way to log in at school is to use a seperate ip.

guests are not worth their trouble...no way of keeping control of them since they aren't members to BAN...it's disable for a reason. When we upgraded the forum it was automaticly set to only allow members to see the forum at all...but we have no problem with guests LOOKING at the forum..so we disabled that :biggrin:
