Should We Continue to Make Guests Register?, Yes or no?

Yeah, you do have a point, but I think that it's just disgraceful to do that. *Yells at the zero posters!!!!!* (LOL)

Sometimes I think that people join any forums just to read things. They never post. They never show themselves. Sometimes they make themselves a "Anonymous User" so that nobody knows who it is.

They just came here for our tutorials, but I really don't think it is right.

Maybe the tutorial sections can only be viewed by members with more then 3 posts. So they have to post a little to benefit. Then when they see how good this place is after posting and knowing the people more they will stay.

You should read what we already said. We need a new code to do that. Unfortunately for the moment Hiidoran either doesn't know the code or he does but he can't put it in.

Yup, Invisionfree is fickle like that.

You don't need a code.
This is what you do:

Create a new group called Member 0.5.
Make it so that is the starting group and it can't view the tutorial boards. then at the bottom the the group setting it asks if you want it to upgrade the member to a normal member after a certain amount of posts. Set that to what you want.


Easy as pie...

I'm pretty sure that that would require another code, or at least be really annoying...

When I had a forum with Invisionfree I tried it and it was easy...no codes required.

Actually coin is right. I forgot all about making new member groups. However, I'm afraid that this might bring a lot of "spam" posters. People will only post really stupid things and DP and myself would be busy doing nothing but cleaning up the forums. I suppose I will try it for a trial period. If we don't get a lot of spam posts within one week from now, the system stays.

So... DONE

Maybe you could still do the password thing but the only give the password to members you trust and to those that have made quite a few non-spam posts. Then if the start spam-posting you can make a new password and not give it to them. Then if they start good-posting again you could give it tell them the new password ect. That seems logical to me. How about you guys?

That sounds good to me, nice idea! But why would people want to join this forum just for the tutorials? That must mean they are beginner hackers, and this would be the place for them!

Yes, but some people don't see it that way. They just want to look at the tutorials, save them to word documents, and be on their merry way. If they would stick around, they would learn a lot more, plus have some fun!

Yeah, I guess. Those kind of people are what people like us call idiots (the bad kind, LOL).
