Posting without registering?

[Thornir Alekeg]

Since when can you post to the boards without registering? I noticed this thread (which I find a little fishy) http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?p=2173865 and was confused that the poster is listed as a "Guest." I tried replying using another browser when not logged in and was successful, I just had to list a username (that's my post with username "Testing").

I believe only the Meta forum is setup this way, the other ones give you a message saying you need to be a registered user to post. Meta is most likely left open as it is the place to discuss troubles or issues with the boards themselves. If there are login issues or a person is having trouble getting registered there needs to be some facility to allow them to notify the board admins and Meta would be the most appropriate place for that. So it is left open to allow such requests.

That's correct. Guest can, for now, post in the meta forum. Now if the spammers figure that out and start blasting this forum I'll turn that off.

And what, spam the all of, what 30 people that read META?

That's still 30 people that don't want to be spammed.

I for one don't want to pick the "help" requests out of 450 "breast enhancement" threads.
