Guest forum closed

edited January 1970 in MJDHI News

Because of the spammers, rude guests and banned members, I had no choice than to close the guest forum. I tried it and it seemed a good idea, but it's too much work to moderate and people are abusing the function. I feel like kindergarten cop and I must say that I have better things to do than filter the posts.

I am sorry for all the guests that enjoyed it and are polite, but I'm afraid you have to register to continue the discussions.

    There are people who seek to impose their beliefs on others of coarse ways,...people do not learn,... I am very sorry that they closed the thread

    I totally support this. If they would like to come here on a regular basis than they can just sign up.
    It would be VERY hard to moderate the guest forum because people feel like they can say ANYTHING
    to you when they don't have to show an identity. Some guests (not all) were abusing the privacy luxury!
    Good idea.

    Good choice. I was tired of all the non-believers (no offense).. This is a forum where we investigate MJ's death hoax. If you don't believe, don't even bother posting anything. Seriously. :/
  • it was always going to be a double edge sword. it was worth the trial and error period i suppose. but you can read the active topics and unanswered topics without becoming a member. i know it took me a while to decide ( mostly cause i am a coward about new things). i have been tempted lately to get a twitter but i think you guys are the only ones i know who use it. i should ask around and see , i might be surprised.

    And let's not forget it is free to sign up. So I do not understand why they shouldn't sign up. Unless they are shit disturber. (sorry about my language)

    I had begun to wonder if they were here to demean us rather than listen to another theory. There is so much here to be taken into consideration if given a chance. No one is trying to force them into believing what we believe. They have forums of their own. We don't go there and start trouble. Respect for our right to believe is all we ask. And this is the deathhoaxforum. We aren't hiding behind false identity. If you don't agree and don't have an open mind, then stay away. We gave them a chance which is more than the non-believers have ever afforded us in their forums.

    Good move Souza!

    Thanks Souza. I agree with this decision. It really started to annoy me when one nonbeliever went under five different guest names to bash us. I think those that want to join the investigation should register like everyone else :)
  • Hi Souza, that was a good idea. You had no choice.

    You did the best Souza. If they want to make posts, they need to sign up and make their posts. It's an open forum already and they can read it all but there's no need for them to come up to mock us.

    My second time posting in this thread, hopefully it's alright!

    I was just wondering when you're going to open the 'guest forum' once again? We have lots of guests in here, and some of them probably know more than we do. Maybe they've new information to share but they can't register? And in everything, they can't discuss their registration problems due to this.

    My suggestion is, that you open the forum for some time and see what happens. If the same happens, don't even bother opening it again sometime soon.

    Hopefully my opinion will be heard by you, Souza.

    Blessings.

    Nope, the guest forum will stay closed. If people want to share something, they can register. If they have trouble registering, they can email me, my contact details are on the website.
