PostAuthor: evolver » Fri Apr 14, 2006 3:14 am

It happends,
Someone replied before logging in...
Message posted as 'Guest'...Damn

This very small MOD gives a little warning before posting as 'Guest'.
Can't happen by mistake anymore...

Easy to install and works fine...

BUT...
Unfortunately, there's no warning when entering a new topic as 'Guest'... <img>

Also, keep this warning in mind:

(There are no groups set to auto on my forum...)

Thoough it is a good mod i would advise that due to the amount of spam bots and script kiddies on the web...

I would say it would be better to not allow guest voting when making a forum...

but just my oppinion

Personally, I just set it such that the user has to register before posting. How hard is it to register. (It takes like 30 seconds) For my forum, at least, if they don't want to take 30 seconds, then I don't want them posting there. Kind of resolves the guest issue all together.

That is true <img>

However, I always keep at least one forum open for guests...
So they still have a chance to ask anything about forum -registration, -rules, -privacy and read about the questions that have already been answered...

...and also for members who can't log in for some reason...
Then we can at least be informed about such a problem and fix it or help this member to get back in...
