Guest account (for mods)

Post by Sickwacky »

Why not make a guest account? For people that just wants to ask a question and leave? So they don't have to register. That would be nice.

User name : quest 1 , quest 2 , quest 3 , etc.

Password : pcformat

The person just leaves his details and we would get back to them.

What you guys think?

They used to allow posting as guests, till somewhere in early 2005 if I remember correctly.
Don't know why they removed it though.


PS. Why did you put "for mods" in the title?
I thought you wantyed mods to have guest accounts only...

Well mods are the only people with "power" here.

EDIT : The guest accounts aren't for mods, they need to look at this.

I think that that would leave an open door for flaming, spamming, etc

I presume that's the end of this thread, however, I don't recommend deleting it. I'm sure you'll get a similar thread in the near future if you do

Lol. Ya I also think that this would cause problems. Guests on other forums I've been to tend to cause trouble, but they are fun/funny. Wish it would be brought back.

All that will happen is if anyone who is banned decides to come on and post porn which as now happened three times, they could do it without fear. Same applies to any other posts by banned people. It my opinion, humble as it is, guest accounts are a defenite no-no :!:
Oh, and yes I know who posted it!
