I think we should disallow Guest privileges to this section. This is where the most Guest spam ends up. I understand we need it for members to post if they've been banned accidentally and things, but it just gets stupid sometimes. _________________
It's fine. Another Moderator or myself will delete the posts. It hasn't come to a point where we need to "man the guns" and constantly delete posts every minute. We to keep guests enabled for members who have problems with there account.
The guest access is allowed so we may help others who forget passwords, need activated accounts, cant login, and or wish to stay anonymous. The spam levels are not as bad for any action. _________________
Isn't it funny, you hear a phone ring, and it could be anybody, but a ringing phone has to be answered, doesn't it.
Yeah, disabling this section for guests would leave a lot of us screwed if we couldn't log in... SheWho had that problem last summer and had to post in here.
What about that thingy... where you have to type in the thingy if you can see the thingy? I am awesome at techincal speak...
This thing...
This would reduce the amount of bot exposure, however, this verification code can be annoying to some users with low vision. The bot/troll spam has not yet exceeded high enough rates to use such a feature yet. _________________

Like when it takes me five tries on myspace to type the code in right because the V looks like an L or the 1's look like I's? _________________ ^made by Fiendfyre

That can be part of it. I have suggested this idea once before, but as I said, not really enough spam to go threw the trouble to install a MOD. _________________

Above, the reasoning for allowing guests was posted. Also, the reasoning for (at least now) not having the captcha (thingy) mod installed because of current levels of spam was correct, as well.
