Ever since I came to this forum I have, occasionally, seen topics get spammed, more by guests than members. Of course members do it too but at least you can PM them while it is virtually impossible to do the same thing with guests... Here comes my question:
Would it be a good idea to make it so that only members could post on this forum/some boards but that everyone, even guests could view it?
That way, I think, mods work would be greatly eased. I've heard pros and cons for people not registering.... mostly the pros are privacy issues. However guests can't edit their posts so they just make another --- that can't be good. They also make requests in the wrong boards. Not all guests behave this way, and some even helped greatly on the forum, but I find that most do. What other pros and cons do you see? and also couldn't mods once and for all vote about this issue (or did the debate already take place --- if thats the case then I'm unaware of it and apologize for re-starting the debate)

let me see, why don't we just ban the guest so that you have to sign in before you can view anything? This way our forum wld be sooooo much safer. Reasons why we might as well ban guest from viewing: 1. files would not be ripped 2. they have to register 3. we can track them down if they misuse our graphics

Mmm, if guests are disrupting enough topics, go ahead and require registration. It’s not all that anonymous anymore, anyway, now that you have an active Admin. I am a little reluctant to post openly with my registered account to certain topics, though…

let me see, why don't we just ban the guest so that you have to sign in before you can view anything? But no one would come to the forum.... They wouldn't want to register before they have seen whats on the forum and automatically it would become less popular - we can't have that, now can we? I am a little reluctant to post openly with my registered account to certain topics, though… Any specific reason?

Try going to other gundam forums / naruto forums. They HAVE to be registered to view and apparently they have many more members (around 100 000) than this board. Will u rather risk it if our graphics are misused? I've seen a few of my avatars n wallpapers posted on other sites.
