Guest Posting Poll

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Should "Guest" posting be disabled so that one has to make a (still anonymous) account?

Personally, I vote Yes to disable it, for spam reasons, and also it's hard to have a legitimate debate with "guests".

Hopefully I didn't muck the options up this time. :D


Thanks for your input.

As fun as it is to play Guess the Wingnut, I think Big Ugly should have to register.

Idiot. It's only cons who are too wussy to register. May be they think Banni is going to give their information to Obama's gun confiscation troops.

They always have overestimated their importance. :mrgreen: Like I'd give a crap about their information provided - anonymous or not.

Keep your paranoia that's fine. No one is forced to post here, and no one has been prevented from posting. Do you see Vrede everywhere? I'd go see a psychologist about that.

You're full of bullshit.

I resent others posting under my screen name.

I voted to disable it just now....after all, to post on the original forum, you had to log in. Besides, nothing would prevent you from naming yourself "guest." Oh, and posting under anothers id is not just bullshit; it's cowardice....something Zimmerman would do.

I voted no because it might get a "passer-by" interested enough to register. Why not limit it to 3 from the same IP address? Surely you people of superior intelligence can do that.

Just look at it as another way to demonstrate right-wing hypocrisy.

They claim Voter ID is a good thing in that it doesn't stop the individual from voting but does prevent voter fraud (it doesn't but for the sake of argument let's say it does) .

Insisting on a Login Name (an ID) doesn't stop or censor anyone's post (stop them from voting) but it would prevent cowards from posting.

I say No Account=No Post.

I am for voter picture ID and I am for proper names to post. Names with board having the ability to verify by phone or address just like letters to the editor.

Maybe it isn't the smartest thing to do, but as far as I know, I am the only one on this forum using his real name.

I'm using my real name. I don't live around here anyway.

Voting for this country's leaders and having to post your real name to run your mouth is two different things.
Like many others, I abandoned my land line for a cell phone. Cell phones aren't listed in directories.

What's the difference in a "coward" with a logged-in screen name and a "coward" with an unlogged-in screen name? Look back in earlier posts in this thread; you'll see a registered "Guest" and a non-registered "Guest". Which is the coward?
Your name is NonUser; does that mean you're a coward to post any other nonsensical "handle"? :o :o

I don't care who a poster is IRL, but the minimum ante to play ought to be to register and pick a pretend name so we all have a character. I have no idea if Nascar and the Detective are as psychotic and ignorant as their online persona, or if they're just playing a role. I generally suspect the latter. But I don't care, it's still fun. "Guest" on the other hand, is like somebody talking to their TV.
