Board question

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Wed May 03, 2006 10:13 am

I value the ability to "Guest" post on this forum. I like my privacy. I (and indeed most "Guest" posters) do not abuse this forum and contribute a great deal to it. It is, unfortunate, though, that some of the resident long term registered posters appear to have a cliquey and protective view of this.

This forum (and it's option to write with anonymity and security) is one of the reasons that I have stuck by MediaMonkey, when I've been tempted to jack it in and go elsewhere. The polite and willing support, by and large, is refreshing.

But this should be a place for everyone who cares about music and personal management of their collections.

I shall now type in the code, Thank you.

The guest option is essential to a board like the one of MediaMonkey. Users need to have a way to post a quick question without becoming a member. Many people only post a few questions and never return.

Of course even as a guest you are not anonymous. But that is probably no issue for most as we're not an illegal subject forum. For us it's easier when people do use an account if they are repeat posters. It helps you see where people are coming from (not location) so you can better respond based on older topics (if you remember of course

).

I don't think this is true - I think the "resident long term registered posters" (of which I include myself) are trying to avoid spammers, not genuine "guests" who don't wish to register.
