Any chance of banning guests tomorrow?

Number7 · 10th May 2008, 15:41

To prevent forum meltdown should we win or lose?

Granted, the majority will be down the pub but I'll probably fancy coming on the caf at some point to get some reaction and create some kneejerk threads

20le_Solskjaer · 10th May 2008, 15:43

I agree with that, Its a good idea so that guests don't come on and fuck the server up!

SATA · 10th May 2008, 15:45

I'm in.

Hopefully we see a happy caf at the end of 90 mins

RedNome · 10th May 2008, 15:49

So you'd happily block fellow reds from viewing the boards on the day we might win the league?

Nope, but I want to block ABUs crashing the server.

Guests have been blocked in the past.

Might encourage more members to join up

Unfortunatly that can't be done so how about you all let Niall run the site and we all get back to posting.

golden_blunder · 10th May 2008, 16:28

guys this question has been asked so many times already and Niall has repeatedly said No

IBleedRed · 10th May 2008, 16:35

Would be nice in the shortrun for us caf regs
but the caf would lose money made from adverts plus it might have the effect of discouraging people from coming here later on

Sky1981 · 10th May 2008, 17:02

some poster have short memories that they were once newbies at one point.

BahamaRed · 10th May 2008, 17:22

I'm told that the first thing the team do when they win and get back to the dressing room is to log on to the caf to see our reaction. Wouldn't want to spoil that now, would you.

Newbies are members not guests, your point is redundant.

Having said that, the idea of banning guests on potentially the biggest day of the season, when potentially the most amount of people will be viewing the site, thus increasing more income from advertisements, is equally redundant.

ZIDANE · 10th May 2008, 19:58

Redundant thread.

032Devil · 10th May 2008, 22:09

Stupid idea no matter how annoying.

Guests, naturally, are very important for Niall.

Number7 · 10th May 2008, 22:25

Didn't consider the advertising aspect of it.

Fair point.

Or at work like some of us!

Advertising and website traffic are needed whether you like it or not. If you want Redcafe to keep going then this is necessary.

They won't be a newbie if they never see the site as guess right?

He's talking about banning guests not newbies, which won't happen anyway. Newbies are members like us, so if some action were to be taken against guests, it wouldn't effect the newbies either.

Yes I suppose so.

ZIDANE · 11th May 2008, 19:16

I wasn't here straight away but it wasn't even that bad when I came on. Slower than normal but nothing to moan about.

And nice to see the Champions! banner out again.
