| shams said: One idea I had recently: Maybe we should let guests post comments? Maybe only in the news/chart threads? Mods can still remove comments that are inappropriate. Might need one of those security / anti-bot "enter this word" pages to validate the content, before it appears? (i.e. appears after each post is entered, and before it appears - one attempt and the post is lost?) (they definitely should not be able to post in the forum...) I think this will not only attract more people to this site, but increase the "average time" they spend on the site. This in turn could boost the number of concurrent users online past 1500 or higher. If it turns into a right royal mess, maybe have a dedicated section of the site where anyone can post anything? Or course illegal/anti-social comments can still be nuked. ... Thoughts? |
I don't think it would be a good idea for two reasons. The first one is that it will likely be used by disruptors and banned users to try to spread hatred and such.
The second reason (and I'm not flaming.. This is by far my favorite gaming-related site!) is that the site runs pretty slowly at times and is almost inaccessable. During the evening hours, I've noticed that I can't even view it. Wouldn't increased traffic slow it down even more?
