And what are we going to do about that? It takes a whole bunch of space and loading time. I suggest IP banning them without warning. And guests should not be allowed to use smilies or post URL's. That will clean up some of the crap this forum has been haveing.

Why just make A forum just for guest and close the other forum that allow guest to post I think that will stop it.

Finding old games
Getting Games to work

Here is a other one if the Guest does something bad you can banned them for one day to three day. And if they still doing the something Banned forever I think that will work do you think mods and admins

Most guests don't really plan on coming back so they take the liberty to be rude, obnoxious, and overal unpleasant. They are always going to be rude and to tell you the truth, it is going to be extremely hard to crack down on this problem. You have to remember, most of the guests visiting here are young so they usually don't have manners or respect.


P.S. I am available to mod if need be.

Old people can be rude too. It's about the rude people, not the young people. GRRRRRRR.

It is not that easy to IP ban someone as you seems to think SpaceFans. It takes more than a mouseclick to IP ban someone. There are ways to get allmost entirely anonymous on the internet. I will not elaborate on this, doesn't want to bring those smileys posters on idea's.
But lately the smiley posters aren't that bad, there were more sometime ago.

Meh

Gamer_V, yes older people can be mean too. In fact, I'm a teenage member myself. As with the anomous web sufing, it's quite simple to evade an ip ban and go through. I've done it myself with quite some success. No we could ban guests from the smileys, thats a good idea but then they could post an image of a smiley from a different site if they really wanted to. I don't really feel we have a serious problem with the guests at present to be quite honest.
