Guest Posting Re-enabled
Posted: Sat Mar 18, 2006 5:03 am
Through the wonders of PHP scripting and the wonderful features of the phpBB forum's very versatile and open software, I have been able to open the forum back up to anonymous posting by Guest users.
The change that makes this possible is a modification of the code that allows visual confirmation to be required on all guest posts. Since our recent spate of nasty spam postings were most likely the work of robot posters, the visual confirmation ~should~ stop the unwanted posts cold.
As always, if anyone notices offensive or unwanted posts on this forum, please let me know at once, I delete spam aggressively!
