Should 'Guest' be allowed to view the forum?
« on: December 29, 2006, 03:22:20 PM »
Was just thinking ... should we allow Guest to view the forum? All the threads or certain threads only?

Should 'Guest' account be allowed to post for those un-seasonal posters?

Wanna get all your input ....  /92

I second abang built.

If Guest can view everything, then it renders membership here rather impractical...  /162 /162

IMO,

Leave only the "Lifestyle", "Talk Kok" and "Photography" section open to Guests.

The rest are ICE Intellectual Property of ICE Hifi Members.. hehe  /92 /92

But some people only join if the forum content is good...then how? Can view, but just don't allow to post lah... That's what I think...

from my observation, many ppl just view the buy / sell section ....

however, i understand some members who wish to stay silent and observe / learn, their position will be respected ..... from now on, only members whose last log in is 3 months ago will be deleted ....

hopefully ... these ppl would be members as the forum was created for all our benefit .....

Yup...I think it's better. Don't u think 3 months is too short? 6 months is reasonable I guess...

3 month is more than reasonable if is based on last login, alot of things can happen in 3 months duration.... /69

ICE is a great hobby to burn time and a huge hole in your pocket...:P

Guests should be strip searched, molested and probed before using the forum. LOL.

OK lah, on a serious note I believe guests should at least introduce themselves before making use of the forum.  /110 That way we can curb on any form of abuse on the forum.
