Should we allow guest posters?

[housegeek]

I think we should get rid of guests. There's no need for it, you don't even have to be accepted by a mod, you just give a name and email addy and you're done. So so easy.

If it prevents another seesaw debacle and the resulting histrionics about proboards shutting us down, I'm all for it.

Ok in this case, I can see the justification. But 'most guests are assholes' is just a pansy-ass position to have. Most regulars are assholes too. See Dylanite, for example.

Your mom's a pansy-ass.

If you want others to join, then don't make it an exclusive club.
Keep it open to guests.
There is no way I will submit private information to old nesties.

This line of thinking kills me because the most private info proboards gets is your ip and we can see that whether or not you create an account.

Either way, I think the guests on ML last night and today ruined it for all of you. I am sure some of you are great, and I would love for you to take two seconds to create an account and join in. You don't have to give any real info at all -- surely you have been around the Internet long enough to learn to use a fake email and birthdate.

If you want to get all historical about it, TN made you register. And yet you all were over there without a problem...How would it be any different here? Or is because you want us to start writing articles about wedding cake sizes?

How long is this poll open? I didn't see it pinned at the top anymore so maybe it's closed? I already voted.

[EllieArroway]

Sorry, I had planned to keep this poll going until Monday so everyone had a chance to see it, but I woke up to a bunch of bullshit from guest posters AGAIN and I just said screw it. I am tired of dealing with it.

I think the amount of guests in this post should make the case to require registration.

:Y: Agreed!
