do you want BC to be an all guest posting forum?

[Anonymous]

There would be problems of course..



There are two posters I don't want here who will be here..



I'd have to give more mod permissions to cw_ and Biggie because of the greater potential of questionable content and spam..



But, it can done..



Give me your feedback.

Sure, why not?

I added a poll question..



We would work out the details of it if enough people participate in the vote.

Easy fix for the Chinese and eastern UK spammers.



We'll speak offline but my recommendation would be to



1. IP block the Chinese and European IP superblocks example 202.0.0.0/8, 195.0.0.0/8 deny etc etc

2. implement an IP intelligence based firewall to block all TOR exit nodes ( the list is published on Github)

2. Implement a proxy server deny IP list



You do the last two because it will make the cretins less likely to impersonate others when they know their own IP address is exposed



we'll speak in private about how to make this happen at the server level



but I'm for giving guest posting a shot to increase interest

If it's that easy, then why not make most of the forum guest posting. I think it will increase traffic

Well, it's easy in one way and very difficult in another



you do remember the thermal nuclear meltdown we had around here a few days ago when the "panelgate" scandal first broke



wouldn't want a repeat of that would we?

Who cares. If we can have guest posting without all the spammers and their frickin links, I say do it. That is the main obstacle to guest posting.

Thank you Biggie.

Why not do trail  run and see how it goes then use the data from that to implement it going forward?



But then again it is going to make you mods work harder to sort stuff out at first TBH.

Any changes we make weebles could be reversed..



We would still have Flea Trap with registered posters and mod approval only for guest posts..



And I do know it's asking mods to work harder, but we have a couple of mods who I'm confident can handle it..



But, I'll let this thread run one week to let as many people as possible have a say.

@Fashionista, if you think you can make this work, just do it.

I voted yes. The reason I prefer forums over Twitter is that this medium is a better format for debating topics. The problem with forums is that we tend to focus on the person behind what's written. Guest posting would force us to focus on what's written.



If you go to guest posting, delete my handle, but not my posts. I will only post as a guest.
