Hello online community users,
We would like to know if you would prefer our online community to be an open or closed forum.
The online community is currently an open forum. This means people without an online community account can:
A closed community would not be open to the public and only members would be able to read and search threads.
*Please log into the online community to vote*
I don't think a closed forum keeps out bots or trolls? That seems the important thing.
I'm still worried about losing all the old threads.
A captcha system would help with bots.
It might keep out trolls ... but probably only about as much as it would keep out new members in general. It would have no effect on bots and spam.
