Ok here is how it works, the Forum is not a stand alone version it has been ported into the system so Preventing Guest posting has been disabled because we agreed to in the beggining to allow visitors to this site to view the forums without registering. So if they can view the ported version they can post. Thus the only way I am going to be able to prevent Guest from posting or members hehe from posting without being logged in is to restrict access to the forums for unregistered members. and I dont really want to do that. This is what makes alot of folks decide to register is reading post from old friends. So I need everyones input I will change it but it is going to be up to you guys i will create a poll and we will vote on it. Do I disable unregistered access to the Forum or do i let it continue the way it was planned originally and those members with a penchant for posting without logging in will have to start logging in lol...
Our Moderators should be going through the site and when they see a guest posting followed my a member explaining they posted by accident as a guest, the moderator should cut the text in the guest post and paste it into the members follow up post and mark it as edited and delete the guest post. I will make sure this is explained. So vote on it folks do we keep things like they are now or do we restrict access to registered members only. I prefer keeping it like it is now,, the occasional guest post doesnt do any real damage.
