Allowing guests on the forum again
 

The forum has been suffering from a major lack of activity compared to the time before the site was upgraded. Large part of that can probably be traced back to the fact that on the old forum, unregistered visitors could anonymously participate in discussions as "Guests"

All in favor of re-enabling guest posting on the forum... hands up.

I liked the system that was before (Guests posting in Game Discussion and Troubleshooting) and have voted accordingly.

Yes, I would say all "Games" forum:

Except for the Cellar.
That would increase requests, games talking and requests to solve tech problems.

+ Site comments/suggestions
+ Compatibility
(+ Important announcements!)


[edit] With underline, the thread title looks like Allowing quests on the forum again. :amused: [/edit]

Like David says, all games forums except the Cellar.

I'm all for allowing them in Games Discussions and Troubleshooting again, however Compatibility might be helpful for many too.

*Puts hand up* What Dave said. As long as you have enough mods to back you up. In addition, I propose we look into the slashdot concept of 'rating' fellow users as used on cracked. Except we shouldn't call it karma... Something silly, like Prestige Points? Status?

I like karma. And it's the right term ...and sooo falloutish! But I would mourn the karma I lost through or non-karmic phase. :( :laugh:

I am not voting because I feel I'm still too "young" on this forum to make an informed decision, and I wasn't here before the upgrade to see the difference.

But, what about spam? Was that a major factor before? I suppose you can use captchas, but captchas are being broken/decrypted by hackers these days.

In the spirit of christmas past, I'm going for the scrooge-like answer of "no".

Is it that hard to register?

Bah humbug everyone!
