Should guests be allowed to post?

There is no spam shit.

The posts have to be approved now anyway.

Just let everyone else have a say. It's why I hate it when people suddenly get to be admins, because they won't allow everyone else to have say in something like this. So, I'll keep this going until everyone else has had a saying.

I edited the poll to make it not biased at least.

Voted No.
The Register button is there for a reason.

Again, true. Why can't you see that, Gary? If we just let guests post, then there'd be no use for the Resgister button, now would there?

There's a LOT of reasons to register other than just posting.

Edit: What the hell is your problem, it's TWO BOARDS

TWO MOTHER FUCKING BOARDS THAT HAVE ALLOWED GUESTS TO POST IN THEM FOR AGES!

Yeah, but by allowing guests to spam this place to death, not cool. I'm against spam, and idiots who like to post spam.

You can't even see the spam anymore.  I've enabled guest post approval which includes a verification system to stop spambots and admins/mods only can approve posts.

0% chance spam gets through this way.

But still, most find ways around it.

How can they find away around an ADMIN scrutinizing their post.

Answer: they can't.

(I just activated this after spambots came)

You do realize that people can hack into a website you know.

Ok, then if they can hack and reenable it, what's the sense of disabling it in the first place?

Besides, they wouldn't hack just to post, they'd hack to fuck up the site.

It's what I mean. I have heard that the main site to GCL, was hacked. Beisdes most would hack a forum to change things around to really fuck things up because they don't have anything else better to do.
