Because guests cannot do anything except login or register. And they are not supposed to register without consent. So it is better to announce it where people can see it.

-=knows the reason=-
-=also can be bribed pretty cheaply=-

The reason Aelya has enacted this new rule is a very good and well-informed reason.  I will also be taking the same measures on my forums.

Aelya, doesn\'t your forum have an option to make it so accounts have to be approved by the administrator? I know some others do, so the banning and deleting would be an unneccesary measure.

We have a members only section to our forums, so only people who are approved by a Champion in the Mercenary Guild can see/post in the members only section.

Also, last time I checked a lot of the forum was public... letting people see but not post in those sections seems pretty pointless to me, if security is what you\'re worried about.

EDIT: Looks like that\'s changed... none of it was interesting, anyway.

You could have made a new DE general news, recruitment and stuff thread.

I hereby formally request this thread\'s title be changed to something more vague and guildthread-y.

I can\'t even imagine a reason for closing off registration to forums, unless you have a members only section people some how are getting into, this can easily be done if a member on the forum has recently posted! Lots of boards can make you check there last posts or 10 most recent posts which will enable you to see into the boards your not suppose to be in  :evil:

...in which case you\'ll see last 10 posts from part of forums you\'re allowed to see...

anyway, Sep, Monk... you two should know what can be done with forums if one wills to...

Monketh: We are not recruiting, and we do not publicly recruit.We hand pick our members. Making a thread like that would be totally pointless. And this IS a general news thread.

DepthBlade: As I said there is a reason for it and as Aendar said it is a good reason. I have never done things for no reason in the past. I would think people would know me better than that. You either believe there is a good reason or you don\'t. I don\'t care either way.

Davis: I\'m not sure, but i\'ll look into it.

Well I believe your reason was a good one, why waste the time making this thread and changing the options on your boards for no reason right? Unless you were just bored and wanted to start some gossip but I think your a lot more respectable than to do something like that :]
