OK just wanted to include a new feature to gauge the Board's opinion, I want to be as inclusive as possible a couple of users have mentioned that they dont appreciate the Board remaining open for anonymous non registered users, therefore I have created a poll to gauge your opinions, it will close in a weeks time so please feel free to provide your feedback as warranted.
going forward any issue bothering users or perhaps improvements to the Message Board's experience can be discussed openly here or via PM to yours truly.
Update 4/12/2020 Board is now only open for postings to registered users only.
update 12/8/2021 Board news reel updated with latest news and topics.

I personally don't mind un-registered users to post because I found this forum by sheer chance and I'd like for other Kidmaniacs to have the same opportunity. I would, however, create a list of ban-worthy behaviors, to prevent trolls from making the place toxic (posting spam, mysoginistic comments, etc).

Is there an option to have the lurkers registered before they can post in the forum?

In my opinion, everyone should be able to view all the contents of the board, but only registered users can post. - Pros: Fewer trolls and spams. I am not directly aiming at any particular users, but we have had so many instances where spammers & bots just comment some random URLs and then mr Dedlock have to clean them up. Making the comment section registered-user exclusive will remediate that issue significantly.
- Cons: Some of our most prominent users are actually guests, including "Our Nic" (where have you been
 ) & "manwithoutfriends" (he's gone for good, but I wish he would be back). So, hopefully the "real" guests will register and keep participating in our forum.
Does that mean I should vote "Yes" or "No" in this poll? LOL

We had an Italian forum, now we have turned it into a sort of archive and moved to Facebook Group. Trolls were frequent, as was spam, it was necessary to limit topics to only the view of unregistered users. So everything became cleaner. This is my experience if it can help.  |

I agree with to die for. Everyone should be able to view all the contents of the board, but only registered users can post. But I think if we found someone like guest335, the administrator should ban him regardless of whether he/she is registered user or not.

I agree, if the forum have this option it would solve the problem |

Ok the mandatory registration for all guests is now in effect, as much as it pains me to lose contribution from some guests the disruption from bot advertisers and some anonymous users was getting out of control.
Please to all our guests register, thanks.
