Thread: Remove Guests

  1. #1

    Remove Guests

    Guests are not useful at all. Why are guests allowed in chat? I have many points to make about why guests should not be allowed in chat.

    1. Guests aren't allowed to talk, so what is the point of guests being there in the first place?

    2. Guests are given random names each time they log into chat. This means they can just refresh to add more and more users to the list, spamming chat.

    3. Speaking of having that many guests in chat, chat gets locked at 100 and no registered users can join until they are kicked, or until 30 minutes pass by for a timeout. (By the way, reduce timeout to 5 minutes because there's no reason to have timeout at 30 minutes)

    4. It only takes a minute to sign up, and it's free, and allows so many more benefits from the site. Sure, keep allowing guests to play the game as a demo to what they get before signing up, but disallow chat for the obvious reasons of it's free and it's fast.

    Vote "Yes" in the poll if you believe guests should be removed.

    no, they can't refresh and keep spamming new numbers, they have to log out and log back in.

    Aww poor Ian :(

    In all seriousness though, probably wouldn't be a bad idea to make it so people have to be signed up to use chat.

    Thats the whole point, basically make people sign up so they can get more benefits, thus being able to talk in chat, as well have scores saved.

    Also #2 Doesn't exist.

    P.S on a side note, if guests could talk in chat, they can easily SPAM chat with no consequences. Since they have no account they can't be banned, besides an IP ban. That would kinda be a little harsh for a non member

    Nah. Add the time out timer reduction and it'll be fine.

    I move to make ThirdStyle chat StalkerFree™ by disallowing guest access.

    There's nothing bad about guests and it's not that pointless if you're deciding on registering and checking out the site first.

    Yeah but think of all that goes on in chat. I feel like we'd drive people away from registering and going on lol. Whereas if it's a mystery, they have to make the account first then experience it and decide after.
