Look At This:

I'd love to have Gwen bent over in front of me I'd convince her to "HOLLA"

Man who gives a darn if she is in her 30's....this chick is hot!!

All i know is that she is fudgein hot and i want to have sex with her.

These are the only two lately... that I've seen, anyway. But we get some BAD guests. Is there anything that can be done? Like having guest posts checked before they're posted, or SOME way to control these guests? Otherwise, they'll just keep this up... and it'll get worse.

Any opinions?

did you make sure to report them so I can block them from posting further?

Shoot, no, I forgot.  ;D

::) ???I don't know why they bother to post here.On the Yahoo! news messageboards,that's condidered pretty mild.They should just go over there(check it yourself and you'll see what I mean)Or maybe they want their stuff archived?

I think they just don't know it's a bit more strict here.. or they don't care.

Most message boards don't allow guests anymore, you have to register. It solves a lot of problems.

I can enable or disable guest posting.  I prefer to leave guest posting enabled for most of the boards, it encourages new users who might be uncomfortable with signing up if they're not really interested in posting a lot.

Most of the problems caused by guests at the moment, are easily solved by regular users just using the report tool. 

I still haven't seen any of the posts reported, that seemed to have encouraged this thread

I'll go about and report the comments, then.

Ok, I used it. I kinda feel like a tattle tale... :-\\ With the user name this person used, I think it is just some random dork being a pain.

basically just some random dork from what I could tell.

don't feel like a tattle tale.  If people don't report these losers, eventually that's all you'll see here.  Broken window syndrome.

So, I take it you got the reports, then?

yes... and the posts are gone

Oh, alright. Thanks.

I don't know about the rest of you...but I am getting so sick and tired of these stupid guests who find humor in making threads where they yell at members for no apparent reason.  There are ones that post and yell about certain threads being "lame" according to them...and others who yell and try to start something with regular members about posting things in the wrong category, when in fact, it was posted in the correct one.  I don't know if they are really idiot guests posting random and lame things, or if they are infamous members just messing around with everyone, but it is getting really annoying!
Isn't there some way to filter the guests?  I know, most messageboards that I have frequented...I had to join in order to post anything. I was able to read things but wasn't able to post anything until I took the time to become a member.  Or...is there some way that they can be blocked, etc? I was just curious because it's really annoying and it seems to be happening a LOT more lately, especially after the little alter-persona episode a couple weeks ago.

This most recent one is definitely a member or former member.. he/she knows this board inside and out.. i've seen things like "This should be in the PPP" and stuff...

Another problem is the =  and @, on the 2000 thread, it's becoming annoying and pointless.....  ::)

I think it might be the infamous davebrown/kareoke queen/gambler character. Would it be possible to put an IP ban on this person? All he/she seems to post is nonsense (even when they were a member) and abuse.

And I agree on the making membership mandatory before posting idea. It's not exactly an easy move, but as the saying goes: a few people have ruined it for everybody.  :-\\

I actually found @ to be humorous... although I do agree it would get old real fast...

strange that very few of these posts have been reported then.... I've made the forum member post only in the past.  While I don't like it, it does discourage the rejects for awhile. 

With summer over and the kids going back to school, this is probably the time of year we'll see more of this nonsense.

They probably haven't been reported because they're not actually violating any rules.. they're just annoying.

annyoing is a good reason to report something, if it's clear the individual is trying to be annoying

I would like to see guests be able to post.  If a guest posts something nasty, or starts some meaningless thread, then just ban that guest.  It's more work for the moderators, but it makes the forum a friendlier place.

Being that I'm a 33 year old female, I'd like to know what's wrong with us too...

Well, the poster is prolly some 14-year old jerk.

Chicks?  They prefer to be called women, either way as long as they're at least 18....

I say don't disable guest posting. Why? Because you'll have a lot of them joining and then flooding the Playful Penguin Place with their nonsense. I mean, at least now there's an escape from them.



Beth

I think if a guest doesn't want to sign up for an account, then they wouldn't even post here if we disable guest posting!

So I don't think that would happen Beth, but I still think guests should still be allowed here.

I have a strong feeling one guest has just been banned from the boards. I was checking out unread replies when all of a sudden the entire thread I was reading disappeared... :o

And may I add: the contents of the posts I read  justify a ban by any standards!

Unless you missed a comment.  Sometimes Chucky will lose a thread if there is an inflammatory comment that could really cause problems.

There were multiple harmful/vulgar/hateful/defanatory (you name it) comments on this particular thread, and they were all posted by the same guest.

Modified to add: I just noticed the thread is back, but without the posts I was referring to.

I don't think you should make the guest sign up manditory, because some people might think this is an unfriendly place, but I'd filter the guests' posts in case they're inflamatory and could cause trouble.  But that's my opinion. 
BTW, I think this group is cool.  :D

Whoa. Good point. I never thought of it that way.

Beth, YWN, Mr Red Shirt, and others saw what "Guest" did to the chatroom last night.

As a former "Guest", I became a member because it seemed to be a friendly, fun, welcoming place with substance...and I wanted to be able to play the games. So I think restricting Guest's activity on the Boards would deter the idiots that don't like the rules.

oo! I cant resist putting in my two cents.

Guests should be allowed to post, I think. A lot of people do sorta float around for a while and want to test the waters. We should just in the habit of reporting hinky stuff, yeah? And as someone who cusses like a drunk sailor in my RL, I sorta like having to come up with workarounds for cuss words all the time. keeps me on my toes.

And I have no problem with women in their 30s. in fact, a lot of times women in their 20s are too young. ;)

That was a chat room bug that created all the guests...see http://www.inthe00s.com/index.php/topic,12987.msg705132.html#msg705132
