I also would prefer if anon posting was restricted to just GA.

(thanks metl, btw!) 

i'd agree with kinn here then.
need to be free from anon morons on the rest of the func tbh (except beef crap).
kinda tired of exhumed posts of old that move new ones below.... 

I also would prefer if anon posting was restricted to just GA.

Then GA just becomes the beef thread.

I wanted to add at this point a link to a youtube clip of Angry Frank's (from Harry Enfield and Chums) famous catchphrase, but it seems the internet hasn't quite caught up yet with the classics. To wit:

Is that what you want? 'cos that's what'll 'appen! 

It will make an excellent argument for pulling the plug on anon posts entirely. 

I don't mind GA becoming the new beef thread. 

Really useful at this time. Please, definitely restrict it only to GA or Beef thread, even news threads have become swamped recently. 

Other than that, thank you metl for taking the time and implementing this at all! 

Thanks metl. 

Anonymous users cannot create threads, and can only post in "permanent" threads.

post #2676 in Mark V - Release 1.00 

I'm away from Func for several days. Metl restricts anon posting. I come back to multple threads with new posts. And there is only one single spam post instead of dozens.

:qthonk: :qthonk: :qthonk:

Ggwp metl! 

Yeah it's almost freaky. Good stuff metl. :ok_hand:

But....who's this joker? http://www.celephais.net/board/view_user.php?name=anonymous%20user 

I lurk quite a bit nowadays but it has been a pain the arse to open up threads with 15 spam posts (for example in the mark_v thread). 

Can we have anons off permanent threads too please. 

doing the spammer's work for them now? :) 

A [code] tag would be really helpful. 

It feels like most spam could be prevented by simply blacklisting the word "Jersey". 

Ya wanna blacklisht the name of my shtate? Vafangool!! 

Though blacklisting it in the title is probably enough. No need to blacklist it in the body. 

Killing anon posting across the board would be better than blacklisting certain words after a couple of days of spam. I don't see the latter being a long-term solution.
