Nihilus, i’m not saying all guests are bad. In fact I know quite a few nice guests. Ones that don’t constantly post as a guest and stick to the one post.
Tree, ahh, a good and simple name, Tree. I like to see that. I know it’s a thing of little importance but it still gets on peoples nerves nonetheless.
Green Ninja, the rules are not strict and they are good the way they are. We just need a few more guidelines and limitations to our guests.
Jaja, if you did have over 1000 posts, you would have the title of 'UBER 1337 Poster' by now. You wasted an account.
Cid, sorry about that I didn’t realise it was you. I just thought it was a Cid impersonator or something along those lines. I’ll change that.
But it may be better if you put something like 'Cid/Guest' or 'Temporary Cid'.
All i’m saying is that our leash on guests is a wee bit too long. I’m sorry to say that to all you sensible ones out there but if you are unhappy with it then make an account. Most of the time you will feel better with an account.
actually
my main account has over three thousand post
i dont remember how many my other account has
but yeah, i dont care about post count
im here to talk, not to see how big a number i can get

treeplanter doesnt mind guest posting Guest | I agree with jaja.
If you don’t want to post pictures, links, don’t want to be bothered by PM’s and don’t care about a post count...then an account means nothing to you and there’s no reason to get one.
As for rules on guests...there’s only so much you can do with a guest account as Cid explained, but limiting the site to “account only” (which only Barnje could do anyway) would have a detrimental effect for the site.
In particular, the lonely thread is pretty much based on guests and any restrictions you might want to imposed because of annoying people would apply to them as well.
Anyway, annoying accounts, annoying guests...people will be jerks no matter how they’re posting. I don’t think there’s any kind of extra “restrictions” that would be possible. If someone just wants to cause trouble they’re probably not going to care about their account...so threatening them with the only available tools we have (account and IP bans) wont make a difference whether they are a guest or a registared member.
Just something to think about, though I do appreciate your concern for the site and I hope you don’t take my post as being aggressive towards you in anyway.
Also, it’s been my experience, that when a guest begins to post fairly frequently and members like what they have to say, they always get invited by those members to join the site. It’s nicer that way anyway...do you know how many people make an account and then leave? What’s the point in that? At least if a guest is posting more often and likes the site, there is more likelihood that they’ll stick around when they make an account.

Regular Rep: 14  Joined: 14 Dec 2007 Posts: 905 OFFLINE | Your point? You don’t have to join in 1999 to know what’s going on. 1999 is an exaggeration.
Treeplanter, you’re not being rude, you’re just stating your point. I don’t mind guests who stay on the topic at hand, or ones that like to post a bit. I just don’t like the stupid ones who go too off-topic. If they don’t want to post pictures then they don’t have to, it’s their choice. If they aren’t interested in the Lounge then whatever, nobody is going to force them.

I just want to create a topic on the annoyance of guests and new users.
Everyone is a noob at some point, everyone knows that. But for Satan’s sake why do you guys consist on being retarded?
Make a REAL account with a REAL name, not something like 'I iz betta' or 'Mega man sucks'. Look at all of us, NeonMan5, NihilusRavanger, Firewolf, Cid, Green Ninja, Prince Zuko, Skull Kid etc. They are proper user names. If you can’t think of one then just put your first name or something like that. Numbers are acceptable but don’t over do it.
Ok, if you’re only going to post once then be our guest (no pun intended) but if you want to make at least more than ten then create an account because the likleyhood is that you will post more often.
And when you do, at least you could liven them up a bit with an avatar, a signature perhaps, and one that is APPROPRIATE. So no pornography, biased information and no stupid stuff in general. If you can’t think of anything then please don’t hesitate to ask me, or anybody else. You can do so by either PM or general post.
And if you’re really nice some sig artists may even make one for you via Photoshop.
These are precautions which should be taken by moderators. I have noticed that, and I do hope i’m wrong, you guys are can be a bit slacky on these forums. Many people want to see more action being taken but the best I see are a few bannings or thread locks. Maybe you’re just to buissy at the office, but whatever.
Ok Cid, you do your part.
I don’t want to brag, nor do I want to be bitchy about it. It just really gets on my nerves. Perhaps this should be regarded as an important topic, but in the end it’s the moderator’s decision. Don’t allow this topic to go to waste and post your thoughts and feelings here. This is an adult discussion so I expect it to be treated as such.
I think it’s a bit annoying. But it’s not a big deal, NeonMan5.

Regular Rep: 14  Joined: 14 Dec 2007 Posts: 905 OFFLINE | Just to let you guys know I make a fuss over EVERYTHING, well almost. The weird thing is I make it sound like more of a problem than it really is.
You know my point, that’s all that matters right now.
