As i've said this countless times..
Guests are been here since the forum started and if members didn't like the idea of guest posting, they shouldn't have joined.
Maybe instead of moaning at guests in this thread, they could have a word with Stooo about it.
Somehow, i don't see that happening though.
Hi Vicky.. to be fair you have moaned and complained about 'some' guests yourself. But members obviously don't know who the 'some' guests are, and we obviously can't stop them posting like you(admin) could. But you are right, members could talk to Stooo or just report posts they may not like.
I may moan about some guests from time to time, but it's this anonymous coward bullshit, that some members come out with that annoys me.
Unless you post with your real name and photo, then you're as anonymous as the guests.
Some members act all superior just because they have a username.
That's not me I use the 'some' guests line, at times. And state my case.
I wouldn't quite go as far as the real name and photo stuff though. There are some clear advantages of being a guest, guests not having a unique ID, for example means they are able to be 'nice' to the same person one minute, and a complete dick to them the next, they could do this on a whim, even if the member hasn't said anything different. And no member would have a clue about such shenanigans. They are at an advantage, when it comes to playing 'games'. It's just a fact, well I think so.
Sure, members do have to accept this stuff if they want to post on here, but I don't see the point in people trying to deny the advantages.
And obviously you would know if/when this stuff happens. Members obviously wouldn't.
