You can't just ignore the guest*guest postings - it disturbs the flow of conversation and is actually hideous for any new members who may want to participate and join in. I have and always will be against guest posting - but I have let me thoughts be known on this from the start
This is my street, I smile at the faces I've known all my life, They regard me with pride.

Same old, same old. Usual couple of people whinging about guests. Who cares? We should ignore them or hope they go elsewhere.

I haven't noticed any recent spam, even with guest posting allowed. Does this mean the Acme Anti-Spam Device is an operational success? If so, I applaud this achievement as a major improvement to the discussion board.

I like the fact that no-one has ever answered the question of "what is wrong with signing up and using the same username?". It is not possible to ignore guest posting, at the end of the day

Like Laughingmonsta, my position on the case is perfectly clear.

DanielWhit, I was about to give a definitive answer to "the question of "what is wrong with signing up and using the same username?"."
But you say that you "like the fact that no-one has ever answered the question of "what is wrong with signing up and using the same username?"."
As I always seek to please, I shall refrain from answering this question.

Many others position on the case is also clear. I expect they're just not the same as yours.

Readers of this thread should be aware that the "guest" postings on this page are from no more than two people, one of whom is quite a prolific poster under his/her registered name.

But hey! Keep it up! I anticipate that the pair of you are hastening the end of guest posting. The decision is imminent.

Maybe it's a cunning plan by the prolific poster to end guest posting!
