Put guest posting on mod approval. Don't approve any post by Edweird, Apegirl or Seamoron. Easy peasy.
That doesn't work. Guests won't want to wait days for their posts to maybe or maybe not appear...

I never had a problem waiting. I also never had a problem with guest posting being turned off either, there being plenty of options as far as e-socializing is concerned. I do have a problem with leaving a well defined digital footprint being tied to my most frank discourse though. Terms of reference can be reconsidered as verboten at any time, those who previously used them can be persecuted for it retroactively. I cannot predict which those might be (and neither can you) and muddying the history with a bunch of anonymous non-logins which pretty much anyone might employ at any given moment affords me a measure of plausible deniability. If the Goon Squad ever turned up on my doorstep, I would be in a better position than any registered user to deny I was even aware of the place, much less contributed to it.
Besides, for all the back and forth and with very few exceptionsyou are effectively strangers to me. That's not meant to be an insult, merely a statement of fact. I've no way of judging your trustworthiness other than through previous personal experience and in the absence of a long and unblemished close association the chance any one of you might find your interests better served by sacrificing any perceived allegiance is something worthy of my consideration.
I understand. I have hosted Guest only boards myself. I know both sides of the issue.
Mod approval won't work. It will slow the flow, fuck up the flow when posts get approved, and moderators work for free so they don't give a fuck about approval.
Understand that 4chan is essentially the last big board on the netz that permits Guest posting, whereas once it was common. It's a dying thing. While I agree Guest posting has many merits for the user, not so much for the Admin.
I could cause so many problems here in the next 10 minutes if I wanted to, that it would overwhelm whoever is on staff... I don't, but some may.

I enjoy the guest posts, I just have to tread carefully.

I'm not in an excitable state. I just know that many Admins aren't too keen on Guest posting, as Guests often cannot be tracked nor easily controlled once they start to proxy up...
I don't care about any of that, Mel. I'm not trying to look anyone up or find you in real life.
I'm trying to come up with a way to let you all continue to express yourselves freely. I enjoy the guest posts, I just have to tread carefully.

I hope it stays the way it is. I like it.

Calm down. It hasn't happened yet.
