My math shows allowing unregistered posters leads 25 to 16
Over, got it, you are counting allowing unregistered
and anonymous posters together.
I was not and I do not think they should be, but it's a judgement call.
I will explain why I don't think they should be counted together.
I earlier stated I don't believe unregistered posters should be allowed to post, but I think I should define that better.
What I really don't think is anonymous posters should be allowed.
I actually would be willing to vote for the IP choice as I am more interested in keeping the forum responsible, so I could be lumped into the 25 side of the vote when I clearly do not believe those like the poster who is flaming me here anonymously should be allowed to do so.
The system use to show the unregistered's IP address so you knew when someone was repeatedly posting, even when they tried to pretend they were more than one and it also let us know when it was a manager pretending to be hourly.
Unfortunately, we lost that in the move to this more graphically expressive board that I prefer other than this one side effect.
Regardless, if Cheryl decides to leave it wide open to anonymous posters that is up to her and her right as the owner of the forum.
