Yes normally but some of us started to delete posts from users that are on the "black list"...

As I said we discussed for some weeks now, sure such threads like this here pushed us more in this direction...

The forums which are closed are:

General Gnutella network discussion
General Gnutella developement
Bearshare
Xolox

The clients forums are up to the developers to decide if they will stay open or not...

Its still more than other websites offer, have a look at zeropaid there is no OPEN forum...

P.S.:

Registering really donīt hurt ;) , I donīt want to persuade you but this would make things easier...

The BS forums prove that flaming still happens even when you require registration.

2 months of proof is enough.

So the flaming will not stop because of blocking non registered users.

You may lose some important information because of this, such as users that don't want their employer to know that they exposed something bad for Gnutella or things people may want to say because they are a developer and want to save "face".

You could for instance, pass any anon posts through a flame test, where it takes the vote of 20 different "registered" users before the post will appear.

Note we are talking only about the General forums not about the client forums... the client forums are up to the developers to decide...

And bearshare is a REALLY bad example, I think I donīt need to mention why...

Hmm...

I donīt think this is possible with vBulletin, and how long will you wait until your post will be displayed? This could take months...

I've received no junk mails since I registered, if that's what you are concerned about.

Sorry, but this unregistered user can't think up any good ideas, you all couldn't have asked first before you closed it so some of us who think beyond the "norm" could come up with something for you. (notice I say ALL, meaning all the mods here)
It's simple, you have a link between normal posts that says something like "read unapproved post from anonymous" or "approve post from [first name]" and people can click or not click. When they click two buttons come up at the bottom that says "vote, is this flamebait?" and if enough DIFFERENT people say no then it's posted as a normal post with the ID anonymous. If enough say yes, it's removed completely.
Think about the free time you mods will have then!
If it needs to be edited then that's another story, but you could have another button for that "needs editing" and it's sent elsewhere if enough people agree.
Yes, it's a problem because it's not part of this typical software, and I just gave away the hot new killer feature for forums like this and now someone else will make $$ from my idea as usual.
So if you ask nicely maybe some smarty here would be willing to write the php code to do that instead of cutting us crazy out of our minds non conformists off.

True, true, and I want to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart... I am now making close to US$6.000.000,00 per week only by selling e-mail addresses!
Wonderful.

btw, has anyone noticed the minor little fact that those who continuously refer to the poster who is only here to make 1 or 2 posts, and that's it, are actually the 'dudes' who are posting over and over and over every day? Why don't you guys speak only for yourselves and NOT for the imagined posters whom you do not represent?

And, ursula has no 'thing' against anyone here.......
ursula does have a 'thing' against stupidity, hypocrisy and game-playing. But, that could not possibly be applied to anyone here, right? Hands up from those who disagree!

Last, FYI, the Shareaza Forum is also now added to the list of Registered Posters Only.

Let's not have anyone getting upset, OK?
There is still plenty of room for some of the un-banded peacocks around here to display their feathers! :p
