Register to DBSTalk

To Administration,
I think it is great that you allow unregistered visitors the chance
to browse and even post to existing topics. That's how I found this site.:)
But I think it is totally inappropriate for an unregistered visitor to start a new thread.:shrug:
If a visitor has a need to start a new thread then he should have to register to do so.
This is only inviting the unwanted troll.:(
IMHO

Thanks for the suggestion Jim, we've already limited the actions of unregistered users in the Buy, Sell & Trade Forum and in the Polling Forum. We really want to stick to our original intent in keeping the forum free of registration. Don't wanna jinx this but we've been troll free for a while now, and troll threads will now be deleted on sight. This issue of registration has been plaguing me, as I'm sure the rest of the staff too, for a while now. If it gets to be a major problem we can restrict unregistered users from starting new threads, but hopefully it wont come to that. As always, Jim, thanks, it will be looked at more in depth when the time arises. :)

"This is only inviting the unwanted troll."

Who's that?

"and troll threads will now be deleted on sight."

What are they? I never seen one that I can recall.

Once in a while theres a Dish Network Sucks or DBS Suck thread thats only point is stirr up troble, we've been pretty tolerant of these, but I'm not going to be anymore. Most of the troll threads seem to be started by the same person, or a clever copy cat.

So they don't use legitimate arguments to back up their stance? Are they only looking for trouble?

[Steve Mehs]

Bacially yes, thats it correct.

I guess you might have to revisit this issue, huh?

[Steve Mehs]

Everythings taken care of now. Geeze, some people...:rolleyes:
