Guest posting

I see that guests are allowed to post here. I think it is nice to be an open group but having to sign up to post does make you more responsible for what you say. Inputs?

guest posting should be shut off to prevent trolling which has become a wee bit more common.

I can't see any positives to guest posting

One minor positive, guests who post once or twice don't use up namespace.

Have many guests been trolling?

i dont think that not allowing guest would ever stop trooling, its not that dificult to sign up and make some troll posts. and its an easy way to someone that dont post very often, like once or twice, and still needs help. just my 0.02 €

that's what "ding" says about troll

Deutsch    English
trällern    to troll; to trill
trällernd    trolling; trilling
trällert    trolls; trills
trällerte    trolled; trilled
Troll {m}; Kobold {m}    troll
laufen    to troll [coll.]

choose one :-) ... well i understand, i think

what about this:

instead of "Guest" next to the posts, you have their IP?

I agree with Nifan. I don't see a problem with guests in this forum (yet?). OTOH, there have been a number of forums where I found out I would have to register first, so I did not bother to post at all.
