Is this mean we should bring up the idea of enabling guest posting? Is there a way to ask a security question before a guest can post? Like what color is red? Or something that makes it so only people who know a thing or two about these forums can guest post. Something simple like what is Deus Ex or have a password that you need to find on a topic labeled guest posting that has the password for guest posting.

Might actually be possible with the upgrade, maybe we'll try it.

Why would you want to allow anonymous posts? I have no strong feelings either way, but I tend to rather disallow guest posting than allow it.

Jonas and I just decided we don't like guest posting, it's been disabled. Anonymity is scary.

Yeah, I agree.
I myself was polite and stalked this forum, no guest posting, and finally i registered on that faithful day....

I have to agree that it is a bad idea. Besides forum stalking is much fun.
Hmm, I really wish I had a signature...

It's quite simple really. You post stuff that you wouldn't normally post because you won't get in trouble for it. This is usually done by quest posting or starting up another account using tor or some other Spoffer so you can block your IP and post whatever you won't without the mods finding out who you really are. Theirs not much you can post here that would couse any trouble because the mods are laxx but if you where to post lets say FUCK EA on EA's official forum well then that's another story.

The joke's on you, OTP is actually a really elaborate guerilla marketing project commissioned by EA. You are hereby banned.
