Question/Suggestion

[callie444]

The Suggestion:
I think the guests should be able to post and comment on posts, just to make it fair. But, I also think, every guest should have a username, such as "Guest 537923", "Guest 5767535", and so on.
The Question:
Why can't guests join the community, and post in topics and comment on other posts?
Thank you for reading this post, and hope to make this community a better place.

Love always, Callie/Jenni

They can participate, they just have to register first

If we didn't require registration we'd get tons of spam. There's also more anonymity, which means less accountability since you don't have to worry about your reputation if you're not tied to a username.

Also, there's less of the community aspect, where people get to know each other.

It's not hard to register. I don't see why guests who wanted to post wouldn't just go through the quick sign-up process. Anyone who's not willing to do that probably doesn't really care that much about being here anyway.

Oh, now I understand. Thank you, PM, as always.
