we have tried and tested this....it does not work
guests cannot be moderated properly. it means alot more work for the modeartors. they disrupt the discussions and create trouble. anyone who is serious and wants proper discussion will take out 1 min to become a member.
so , im sorry as far as i'm concerned, guests will not be allowed to post - unless you can convince me otherwise.

Interesting topic that got spammed... if we get more of this large spamming run where like 90 odd topics were spammed, then no, guests will not be allowed to post.
Too much effort for now. I did block a few ips off before a=due to spamming, but it was only this morning where in a one shot spamming session close to a hundred topics were spammed.
I may need to do something, but anything that requires active work is not something I will be a fan of.

The problem with some guests is that, they think that they can get away with saying whatever they want…
The can use as many identities as they want and think its OK to make inflammatory remarks.
If the genuinely wanted to make a valid contribution to discussion they would register.
Nearly all forums don’t allow guests to post.

guests are controversial
they wind people up
they add to the exitement-so I think they should be allowed back
Mr Ed-being lazy is not a valid excuse

Erm, I would prefer to allow guests, but wait a couple of weeks after the next issue is out to avoid any short term torrents.
But I will leave decision to Ed.

Re: Should guests be allowed to post?
After the recent Anon1 posting, what are everyones thoughts?

Re: Should guests be allowed to post?
anon1 I am less bothers about - she can b all means sign up if she wants. If she needs to be silenced, that can be too.
But deleting massive amounts of spam is not something I want to do too often or at all.

Re: Should guests be allowed to post?
Not sure if you record IPs but if you do all unregistered posts could be held until you give that IP permission to post freely, is my suggestion.
