Disabled "Guest Posting"

Arch0wl · 06-1-2004, 12:23 PM

This has been a forum bug for quite some time.. and I think I'm the only one to do anything about it.

Basically all the forums besides the ones that were created but never really tweaked have the ability for Guests to post anonymously. Some of the forums being "Critical Thinking" and "CHALLENGES CHALLENGES". This was a very big mistake. People could post gigantic troll/flame posts anonymously, and we all know what happens when you add anonymity into the mix of everything...

So far the only forums that had guest posting were:

Critical Thinking
CHALLENGES CHALLENGES
Static Junglegym
32-Bit RBG
"Game" Threads
FFR League: Sign Ups
FFR League: League Questions
Audio and Music Submissions
FFR/Stepfile/DWI text submissions

I did this without Synth's permission (sorry!), but if he wants me to change it back I will. I don't know why he would, though; the number of "guest" postings and trollings has been astronomical. I just felt that waiting for 6 hours for a reply on something that he had already done on every forum besides the "new ones" (forums that he didn't add on in the early stages of the game) was kind of redundant.. I only do that with bannings and such =p

Okay.

But I didn't think trolling and flaming under guest posts in Critical Thinking was going on.

Hey Arch, did you notice that all those forums are the ones what were added since the forums' last major overhaul? FFR League Results doesn't count because that's a mod-only forum.

Thank you.

You should have since have that login forever thing. Little box that says click here to be always logged in no matter what.

It doesnt affect me, because i am always logged in, but it will be nice not having to figure out who the guests are

Heh heh, it's so annoying when someone signed up as "Guest" in the FFR League. It happend so many times you wouldn't believe it.
