Open Forums.... Why ?

[#1]

@7up see my earlier post as to why it can't be done

Like many i'm also in support of subscribers only being allowed on the forum.

It's been asked why non subscribers were allowed to join, I noticed an answer has not been given will this point be answered?

That is fundamentally impossible as there is no link between the present forums and the Plusnet backend systems

Going back to the original premise - I have seen very few spammers on this forum once you exclude first time posters with a problem

Yet we were originally told in the consultation forum that the two would be integrated as part of the PN support system.

at unspecified some time in the future - probably after the new accounts system goes live

[#4]

do people seriously want their actual plusnet accounts linked to a forum account?
that, by definition, is insanity.

Well you may be right, but only in this insane world do some stores make the sick walk all the way to the back to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front, only in this insane world do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke, only in this insane world do banks leave vault doors open and then chain the pens to the counters, only in this insane world do we leave cars worth thousands of pounds in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage, and only in this insane world do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight.

I always give the two spare hot dogs to the stray cat that lives in my greenhouse.

Having the accounts linked doesn't mean having the same passwords.

Unless it's a Brazzers forum account.

Why allow an open forum, which seems to have a pre-ponderous of "Newbie" / non subscribers moaning / trolling, or the recent Spam Messages / Postings.

Just what are the benefits ?

None that I can see.

Anyone can view the forums, if they want an insight into Plusnet, why allow them to post ?

Why have I just received this notification 5 weeks after posting ?

PN web mail is well known for being slooooooooooooooow
