Get rid of Guest posting

[fightonusc]

I hate to broach the subject, because a) it's not really my place and b) I don't want to turn away new people. But, from the Barry Dingle incident to whatever the hell is happening now, I don't see where the benefits of letting people post as Guests outweigh the headaches that it brings. If people want to read posts before they register, that's fine...but this tomfoolery has got to stop.

(Also, I like the phrase tomfoolery. Not quite as nice as shenanigans, but a little bit more underground...)

Hmmm... normally I'm a pretty inclusive guy, but I really like that idea.

[Dryden]

I'm for it.

[JoeDirt]

I am, too.

[Flood]

tomfoolery is not a phrase...it's a word.  But I agree with everything else fighton said.

[fightonusc]

Good point, Emilio...I suppose something like "wacky hiijinx" was more what I was looking for...

[malnuboy]

Some days when I think my life just isn't exciting enough, I stop and look back on the brief time I spent with Mr. Dingle, oh how I wish I gave him my address.

Hey Farva, what's that restaurant you like with all the goofy shit on the
walls and the mozzarella sticks?

EDIT:  Having just read some of the guest posts, I think they need to go.

Guest posts do not really bother me. Especially when I rip on myself. I think guest posters just like to get in and out. Nothing serious. I have thick enough skin to not be emotionally affected by a guest post. That is just me, and I think the anything goes forum should be the only forum to allow guest posts. I started as a guest, and I was inspired to become a member. I hate other forums where you cannot go in and give it a test drive before you have to become a member.

Get rid of member posting. I have read some of those posts, and you jokers need to go.

Eject guest posting
Membership=cover charge for the Dee-Nee bar

The dorm is gonna be sooooo pissed.

[JoeDirt]

So what's the ruling, Zettler?

[Flood]

Shouldn't these guys be playing quarters or popping each other's zits or something?

[Gantry]

Not quite sure what to do yet.  Dark Side is right, many people start out with a couple guest posts and get hooked that way.  Haven't had enough time to deliberate, but the posting level for guests is typically positive.  I'll figure it out shortly...

I'll figure it out shortly...

So we'll get a decision in about three weeks?

Also if anyone really wants to be a dick, they'll create an account, didn't Barry Dingle actually create an account?  I'm not sure it really solves that much.

[GDavis]

Not sure what the big deal is.  If people want to be trolls there's not much you can do to stop em.

[Dryden]

We could always go Keyser Soze on their asses - kill them, their parents, their children, their friends...

No one fucks with Dee-Nee.

David Guest?

[BeeJay]

David Guest?

David Gest gets beat up by old ladies, much like the new guest posters need to have done to them.
