I was just checking out what the forum looked like unregistered and I tried to post in the LaRouche Discussion Center and couldn't.

Is this a bug or a feature?

If we're leaving all posting to registered users, I'm completely fine with that. I just got the impression that unregistered users couldn't post in the off-topic area.

I guess what was meant is that unregistered users can't see those areas.

Probably answered my own question then, but what the hey, I'll throw it out anyway.

I could enable posting in the main LaRouche discussion, we may have people that wish to remain anonymous due to past connections with the org, just have to be diligent about moderating it the . I can create a new section for guests to post, allow them to, and if it is problematic remove it as another alternative.

I would suggest -- and it's just a personal suggestion subject to feedback, of course -- that maybe we should give anonymous posting a try in the main LaRouche Discussion Center subboard. We haven't had a troll issue since I've been around (hell, I haven't seen a single moderatable incident in that time) and right now we've got three mods and two admins, so I think things can be quickly nipped in the bud.

Of course, this would need to go hand-in-hand with getting our URL out to the relevant sites so we can start building some traffic ...

I'll enable it for now, we will just have to see how things go, if it becomes a problem we will take care of it. I can cut if off in a couple of clicks. I only gave thread starting and reply to topic permission, no uploads and only in the main discussion.

Cool. We can always change it back if it doesn't work. Heh, we probably won't even notice it for a few months until we manage to tap into some traffic ...
