Register to post?
Hello fellow Dinkers...



There are several advantages and disadvantages with registred names on the message board.



Boards without registering:

In general I write more posts on boards where you don't need to register. But then comes the spamming problem... You could just ban the IP, but I don't know if that option is a available.



Boards with regisering:

These boards are (in general) less active than the other type. On the other hand, there will be less spamming...



Tell me what you think! Should only registred user be able to post messages on this board?

I don't think there is a registering 'mod' available for this board (most of the features in this board were from a mod-pack).  So, I would probably have to code it from scratch, and this novice perl programmer would be lost for a few months :).  I've had a hard enough time figuring out how to display a whole thread within a post below it :(.

I think that only registered users Should be able to use the board. Like this there are many problems: For example someone may write whatever crap he wants with YOUR user name.
