If you can post one message, that's a thread.

The above set of posts, is an argument for disallowing guest posts on GBO, forcing users to register and login. I'm pretty sure CK and the admin can make that happen.
.....
I firmly believe that you MUST be a registered Member and Signed in to Create, Respond or otherwise Post to a Board Thread.
We have clear examples of certain "guest Trolls" putting up Snarky posts and Stalking Members...all from the "Old Website"...in other words, troublemakers.
One of the good things from the "Old Site" was that a guest could not create or post...which is one of the Specific reasons I have all but quit the GBO site, barely coming in and rarely posting my view as I simply don't need some anonymous lowlife twit with nothing else going for them sneaking around and snarking every comment I make.
The other primary reason is that my SPAM folder is packed full of unwanted ads flying at me from the GBO site once I unlocked my AD Blocker as requested... |

Please PM me if someone is "too outrageous for words" and I will review it. I want to avoid whimsical censorship, but we do need to keep things civil. |

Please PM me if someone is "too outrageous for words" and I will review it. I want to avoid whimsical censorship, but we do need to keep things civil. Guest posters who refuse to register have little or nothing to say in my judgement and I won't give them the satisfaction of responding to their comments, regardless of whom they are referring. Easy to spot them...IE: the many faces of "AnotherOne"...don't have a clue as to fake vs real; "Just Guess" also quickly pops up... "Who Knows"...at least he registered later...but his comments add no value to the conversation and only there to stir things up.
The jury is still out for me on GBR and whether it's worth the time when there are so many other things I could be doing in retirement...BTW I only come to the site on bad weather days with nothing better to do...IE rainy today

It's only a problem when it can be correct but you don't agree with it.

We're seeing ever more reasons why guests shouldn't be able to start topics either. Sorry for the guests that behave themselves, but the trolls among this population show why most boards require membership.

I'm going to leave this thread on this board for historical purposes, although the topic has been rendered moot by action reported below, so it will be locked.
Sometime in early 2020, ProBoards' management made the decision to end guest posting on the GBO Forum. The Admin had been absent for a long while and in addition to threads that were filled with trolling posts and other personal attacks, spam was being posted in the Forum at a high rate.
So guests no longer can create threads or otherwise post messages on any board.
For now, guests are permitted to view all boards. A change to that permission is under consideration.
