Guests removal
SteveS:
if you can read without siging up, then theres no point in signing up imo

Ok lets try something.
1. When you bought your GTI. Did you see one on the road and say "I need one of those"? Or did you enter a forum? Take a test drive? Read a few reviews? People will not sign up unless they can see that its worthwhile for them.
2. You see a burning flame. Do you touch it? No you dont. Because you know the consequences. The forum should work the same way. Steve is there no way that in the registeration process you can include a section (Seperate to the forum acceptance policy) where it is made clear that "bragging" if you want to call it that of excessive speeding an law breaking is tolereated but at the users own risk with a warning of cops etc?
3. This is an active forum. The forum has meets, group buys and other events. Do we really want people registering just for one or two posts only because they have to? People should register because they have been referred or because they want to and not because it is mandatory.
Just my 3 pounds worth.

i think we should encourage guests to sign up some how? but not block them, i dont like the fact that police can view but theres not really much we can do about that unfortunatly.
i think the blocked sections should be open to the board but if you click, the log in page pops up with the option to regester.? :smiley:

At any given time out of 25 guests 2 or 3 of them will be actual members not logged in for there own personal reasons another 2 or 3 of them are google robots.
Anyone should be allowed to use the forum in which ever way they choose be it as a member or guest it is not a private members club :laugh:
A lot of people lurk for a while before they feel confident enough to be a member. The more people viewing the forum the better, be it as a member or a guest. :drinking:
