You all know that I prevented the Flying Feathers board from being visible to non-members. I have now also blocked any non-members from being able to post as Guests.
It didn't feel right to me that they should. And it also made it difficult for them to be moderated or blocked.
So hopefully this will make the board more secure and safer for everyone to use.

On balance I think this is preferable. We've had a very helpful guest, Friendly Observer, but we could equally have an unhelpful, unfriendly guest. We don't want one of those!

I think it's a very good idea Peet's has a guest posting facility and I've never understood why - it leaves them open to all sorts of trollery . Anyway , thank you , Miranda !

As someone who is too ignorant of much of what happens on Message Boards etc. to protect myself, I'm very glad to have someone looking after the best interests of contributors on here. Thanks Miranda.

Thanks Miranda. I think it is a good thing to have to register to post.

I didn't realise till yesterday that you could post as a guest

Neither did I! Which is why when I saw someone had, I immediately changed the settings. The Guest yesterday was very helpful but there are plenty out there who wouldn't be so I thought it best not to take the risk.
I've logged out and checked and Guests can now see the Welcome board, the TV board and the Shoutbox and that's all. And if they try to post, they get a polite popup box asking them to sign in.

This board is set up ,so your register,then can post in all areas,this doesn't mean there is any more protection than before, just stops someone just dropping by and posting a comment.
At least if they are registered and it does go pear-shaped steps can be taken to stop that person.

One helpful guest does not mean there would be additional helpful guest postings.

Spoken like a true admin/moderator of the best kind
Privat is showing as a deleted member now, has this carried over from the 'other board' or is he/she actually not here any more >confused.dot.com<

We need to accept,as l said sometime last week ,that people come and go all the time.Some will physically delete their involvement, some won't and just stop posting.
Nobody has had their account deleted.

OK Geoffers, apologies if I've said anything out of line (again!) Not out of line at all,and can understand why some get a bit jumpy when they notice deleted member after what the idiot did on the other board,Miranda will look to see if that can be avoided, but then again people can do what they like.
