like where we can regard,congratz or something like that to someone..


We thought about this, but decided it leads to spamming.

Arguments against ?

I agree.

I don't want it to be like HT where I get "Greetings From [Insert Country Here]! I am travelling the world and would be honoured if you would be my Supporter" postings every day.

Blah.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke

Forbid spamming ? :o

Well that kind of spam is quite rare no ?

And when you make many press message, old comments are not visible :/

No, you can't do that, but you can certainly reduce it by not encouraging it.

Not at all. It's actually very common

In my experience, no, not at all rare.

Think "plague" and you'd be closer in your assessment of guestbook spam ;-)

Keep in mind that this is a membership only site, and it would be a membership only guestbook. In HT you rarely see spam, and to further prevent spam you could perhaps add the possibility to ban people from posting in your guestbook?

You already are, at least according to yourself earlier in this thread? Now, since this is a suggestion thread, not a sarcasm thread, and a BB asked for arguments against... seriously?

I was being sarcastic not at you really, more the idea that I don't get spam in HT, which I do constantly.

Please don't take offense, I wasn't directing that at you personally.

No problem - I just don't experience it that way in HT. I use it - as someone mentioned earlier in this thread - to greet friends on good performances, etc. I find it a nice feature, and added - if you implement the possibility to ban unwanted people from posting - you should be able to moderate it as well. This could be done in several ways:

- you could have a whitelist (like a spam filter) - only people on your whitelist get to post messages in your guestbook
- you could ban users individually on sight
