R.I.D BASE OF OPERATIONS

Ok here is what I am thinking. I send an applicant over here to post an app but they can't because they havn't been approved as a member. But anyone publically can view all these apps. Instead lets change it so public can post an app and only members can view apps. Then we don't approve a person as a member on the forums until they are a member in the guild.

I'm not sure I quite understand, can you go into greater detail?

The Public Section used to not require registration. You'd be able to hop on these boards and just freely post as a "Guest." I'd have kept it that way, but the amount of spam bots advertising their wares was obscene. So I changed it so the Public Section was publically viewable, but still required registration.

In additional, I would also like to note that unless I've heard of the person, I won't know that applicants aren't spam-bots. Every day I have to clear literally over a 100 spam bots, since they keep trying to register. Often, at least one of them will be a legitimate applicant who I just never heard of.

So I agree that there's some kinks with the current system that need to be worked out, but explain more. My brain cannot compute

To ability to submit an app without registering?

Aha, I forgot about all the spam bots. You can pretty much ignore my suggestion
