I've been going through some of the topics today trying to catch up on some things, when I've noticed that there are a lot of spam posts by unregistered members? Is it possible that registration be required? I know it can turn off some people, but it really cuts down on chances of lotsa trolls and spamfiends.

I don't like this idea. Allowing guests brings far more normal posts than it does troll posts and it lets people get accustomed to the forum and grow a liking to it, this means they may register and help the site.

agree with r havell.

all ppl visiting abandonia and find the content usefull will sooner or later register.
but restricting informations for registered users only is kind of narrow-viewed.

this is more or less an open community, so we should not try to claim new users
too firmly...

Try and visit the forum as "guest".. it's quite restricted..
few topics visible, and even less "postable"..

Yeah I just checked out being a guest... Quite alot of it is changed. I also too this screenshot. It kinda shows how having guests on the site is important. I think it does anyway. If we disables guests, then there would be 30 or so less people here right now.

Indeed..

We just need to keep friendly against newbies :bleh:

[Mad-E-Fact]

Maybe restrict guests to, say, 1 post every 15 mins or so, to prevent spam.

Actually....
The worst spammers are the members. ESPECIALLY when they are drunk! <_<

Bah, posting when you're drunk isn't fun.
Now playing an MMORPG while you're drunk, THAT'S fun!
