The decision on anonymous posting
Posted by Jason Dunn in "THOUGHT" @ 10:37 AM
I've read over the comments in this thread a few times, and I've decided that no anonymous posting will be allowed at this time. I might change that in a few months, but we're in growth mode, and there is a lot of work still to be done. I'd much rather focus on improving the site for registered users. Down the road, I may open up the front page news forums to anonymous commenting, but only if I can restrict anonymous users from abusing HTML while leaving it open for registered users. Currently, that's not a phpBB option.
mmidgley pointed this out in the same thread: "Why are Guests allowed to post, and use the same poster name as a registered user?" It looks like it's a hole in phpBB, and we're actively seeking a patch for it, because there doesn't appear to be a way to disable it via the config panel.
