Guest posting. Where is this modified?

[mnichols7]

We posted the same thing at the same time.

I don't think its that difficult. No more so than some of the mods and hacks we do. It's a matter of a few buttons to press.

You might want to look at:
Generate Reports (Forum Maint).. that gives an overall view of permissions.
Nobody has even posted as a guest yet on my site.

[edit] lol... we did

[mnichols7]

Nor did they mine.  But the shoutbox is different, they will filled it up with links.

Ah.. I don't allow guest shouts. and calling the Guest Board.. Guest Book, Guestbook is asking for spam.

Mines called Guest Area.. the first hint of fishey business.. I'm locking it down again.
If nobody uses it.. then theres no point in really having it.

hmm reading this and thinking more about it i came to the conclusion that if someone has something to say that is worth reading they will register and say it.. if that makes any sense  :coolsmiley:

and since i already have a guestbook then maybe i dont need a guest board afterall  :laugh: Thanks anyway 

[mnichols7]

I only allow guest shouts because sometimes someone from another site that I have visited will post a 'hello'.  Brian did when he visited and I knew it was him because he sign his name.

I'm reading this and thinking... I really don't need a guest area. And I don't need people to just say "Hello". They can email me for that.

I have a guestbook and a guest board, but no one uses either really oh well!

I agree, i dont think i want to have an open forum to just collect a lot of spam or blabbering.
If they register at my site they want something i eather have, or to get help with their forums or just tell about the day.
I dont have all that many members posting, but i do see my members logging in quite often
Skhilled, Grumpy, Oliver, Lesmond, Shadow Queen and Edwin have posted a lot about normal life and gaming Quite fun reading there. But i think if a member take their time to register, they also read or want to use the content i have, nit just blabber away

I guess when you own and run a forum yourself as all of us do or we wouldn't be here, it is hard to keep up a regular schedule on someones else's forum.  What we all want, I think, are members who are not web masters, just regular people surfing the web for fun and information.

I had hoped that my type of role playing would catch on but it hasn't.
