Which information will you use to differ the unregistered people? You know IPs are not reliable because the most are dynamic...

there are also no option for such things, you would need to change the forum software with patches, if possible...

I think its much easier if you register, you have avatars... hey I will sponsor an animated sig... ;), you can send Pms and mails to other forum users, you can use the report post option... you can set user on your ignore list etc.

Hello!

You do not seem to know what Avatar means.It has 2 meanings:

1.Symbol/object From the/descended by the divine.This is however not the modern interpetation of the word.These days the following interpetation is used on the Internet:

2.Avatar=Digital virtual representation/depiction/symbol of an individual person on the Internet.This Avatar represents you on the Internet or more likely on to different forums or communitys on the Internet.It kind of acts as your face on the forum.

So this means that since it is a digital representation of you it also means that you have to be registered to use one.

You do not seem to understand you own definition. I'll explain it to you: it doesn't exclude guests from having a face, symbol, ID or animated kwikkwak.

Hello!

This is not my own definition it is the standard definition for what an Avatar is.

And yes I do understand this definition.

As an Unregistered you are completely anonymus and face less and you are not registered here on the forum(well as a registered user you can post anonymus but I guess you are not one of those).If you did use an Avatar it would be a digital representation of a name less anonymus face less person.When you are registered the Avatar is the digital representation or id picture of you and it is supposed to represent you as a named registered user if unregistered users would be allowed to use Avatar's they would mean nothing.

By the way as a guest you can still use a name for your self and not be a "unregistered" user.

Do not miss interprett these posts I have nothing against unregistered user personally I do help them to but I think it is a bit of a hazzle to identify them when several "Unregistered" users are involved in a single thread it can sometimes be hard to see who is who.It would be easier if they used a guest name.

oh yeah, now I understand your point. however, don't take this thread too serious. :) I maybe use an animated signature to give my posts an individual touch. :)
