Star Mario in this room you have a pile of apple pies Level: 163 Posts: 8286/9016 EXP: 56055173 Next: 432471 Since: 07-03-12 From: in a box Last post: 57 days ago Last view: 16 days ago |
I guess all is said in the title, but
would any of you fine folks, desire a forum on this board that is only accessible to logged-in users? first point would be keeping random derps out, although admittedly the entry barrier to this board is as low as it gets second point would be keeping Google out, as well as other search engines & co. so the shit in there isn't googlable we could make the serious discussion forum be that forum, or make an entirely new one, or multiple ones on the technical side of the shito, we could do it by keeping banned users out of the forum entirely, with adequate permissions then, change the board to use the banned group permissions for guests, rather than the normal user group permissions (noting that this doesn't matter except for this very case, because as far as guests are concerned, the only relevant permissions are the 'view forum X' ones) ____________________ NSMBHD - Kafuka - Jul melonDS the most fruity DS emulator there is zafkflzdasd |

i'd like that, that would be cool, but idk. What I would add is a personal chatroom for guests but the username is just "Guest". They would have a 2 post limit for each week and to have full posing ability they must make an account? idk. ____________________ Life is meaningless and death approaches.

the issue with that kind of door open to guests, is how to identify them without an account. IPs aren't reliable enough to do the job alone (dynamic IPs, proxies, connecting from different places...).
if you mean some chatbox, we have IRC for this purpose. back on topic, tho ____________________ NSMBHD - Kafuka - Jul melonDS the most fruity DS emulator there is zafkflzdasd |

It might be helpful where we really want intelligent people to become the discussion, because new users won't join just to post there. However, New users won't join to post there, which might result in a decreased userbase if we're not careful.
Serious Discussion is the only forum that could really benefit from this, and wouldn't really cause users to join anyway, so I could see that being members-only, but anything else I think would be a bad idea. ____________________ |

should we also have a separate Relaxland/general that is hidden, for more intimate discussion that isn't serious shito?
anyway, there, Serious Discussion is logged-in only now 'aight, there it is. I had forgotten that the permission system has a separate code path for guest permissions (those are always loaded, to determine which forums are public). ____________________ NSMBHD - Kafuka - Jul melonDS the most fruity DS emulator there is zafkflzdasd |

side note: IRC post reporting for that forum goes to the staff channel now, because the board sees that the forum isn't visible to guests and assumes it's a staff forum.
peh. also, the basement is open, go check it out! ____________________ NSMBHD - Kafuka - Jul melonDS the most fruity DS emulator there is zafkflzdasd |

for anything you don't want to be publicly visible.
say, nosey recruiters who start googling you and seeing the non-professional side of you. or shitbags who go around and doxx people. or generally shit you don't want to be googleable. ____________________ NSMBHD - Kafuka - Jul melonDS the most fruity DS emulator there is zafkflzdasd |
