Chen, I honestly didn't mean to offend you, and would have sent you this via PM instead of posting it on the board; however, your PM's were disabled the last time I looked, as were John's.

On any given day, I trip over up to 5 posts of the type that I described in the Hacks General Discussion forum. I no longer go to the lounge daily because the last time I was in there, about 1/5 of the posts were people trying to figure out why they weren't allowed to download attachments.

I fully understand that John is not going to let you let us see who is and who isn't registered and authorized to be here. Honestly, I could care less if I know who is supposed to be here or not.

Perhaps one solution would be not allowing people to register on this board and get a username until their info is properly filled out. Allow guests to post in the forums that you mentioned earlier, and then we can safely ignore the hell out of the guests and let the moderators deal with them.
