replied on: 9/19/2002 5:07:04 PM Well first off, it's not a good thing to just let anyone post to your site. When you have that option, then you have no control. What I mean by control is you won't have the option of banning users who don't like you and end up posting crap on your site. But if that's something you need, you can wait until I install that feature, or you can install forums on your own site, or try another service. Dann Welker AKA LaWizard, Sharky

replied on: 9/19/2002 10:14:34 PM I agree with sharky. I dont allow people to post racial, sexaul (sextist?), or any other kind of slurs on my website, and I want to make sure they keep swearing to an absolute minimum. If you allow non members to post, ou have to go through possibly billions of posts each day to make sure that people follow your expectations of those that posts. If you dont make it so that they have to be members, then several fights between people can break out and thus make the forums unattractive and eventually it will likly die of those that want a peaceful place to share their stuff or whatever and you got nothing but trash put on your forum all the time. Then before you know it you might as well not have bothered making the forum because you didnt require them to become members. The one reason for them becomming members is because if they only want to cause trouble, they will not usually go through the trouble of siging up. Also I believe it makes banning people easyer and it saves time for you. I mean we will always run into an a**hole. There is always gonna be immature jerks out there that just want to be stupid and to cause problems. Some people may choose to live with it and just ignore them, but in my case...hell no. I dont have to put up with them and i wont. I dont need them causing problems for my memebers, and i dont need to hear their trash or posting trash or taking up forum space and thus filling the server up with trash. I mean it doesnt take much space on his server, but I dont care. Any trash is too much trash for me regardless of server size. I am concitering in the future not even allowing people to advertize on my forums (as far as their sites, stuff on games that they can trade and whatnot, or whatever). JW's World Admin-- J.W. |
