I was thinking a while ago how maybe if people could post here without having to login and have an account, then we might get a lot more visitors and get more help, useful tips, etc. When I first joined, I was hesitant. If I could have, I would have posted my questions anonymously, but I think I would have eventually signed up. How do other people feel about this? I think that we would gain users in the long run. The current setup is, in my opinion, way too restrictive. Guests can't see images, follow some links, etc. Maybe there are reasons for not allowing this, but it seems like there would be no problem in allowing at least some function for unregistered guests. A person causing problems could have their IP blocked if necessary, and people could be encouraged to join perhaps by having to see a message asking them if they want to join every time they try to post. Anyone else think this is a good idea? Bad idea?

I think you added way too many options for your poll. A simple yes or no would have been enough.

I voted no. The reason is simple. Anonymous written abuse and spamming.

We have a large enough problem with spammers and a-holes without letting them post freely.

No, and MSFN will never allow this for the reasons mentioned.
