SWAT - public/restricted

Another quick idea: if the user agent is of one of the known bots => automatic login

I think what we need is a help and support section in an easy to find location that wont take any more then one or two clicks to find for unregistered people to view, that way if someone thats not registered happens to have a problem with the mod, they can come here, find the post, and see if their problem has already been posted and fixed. That way if an unregistered persons problem has already been fixed by someone else, they can take the measures to fix it for themselves and get back back on. If their problem happens to not be fixed, or they cant find any post on their problem, then they can register and leave a post about such a problem.

Nice, I like FAP, its a new one, XD. As long as its anything help and support related thats easy to find, that would be a huge help to those that need the help, but doesnt want to take the time to register just to ask a question, get an answer, and then never get on the forums again, its a waste of space on the forum members list for one thing, and it saves a lot of time and resources. Also there are lots of people that doesnt even have the ability to register on a forum due to parental restrictions and such (For those people with strict parents.)

I still think they should be made to register in order to post, to prevent spammers as OP mentioned, but the help and support page at least, should be made to allow unregistered people to view it and see if their questions have already been asked and solved for them.

Well.. I voted that they have to register. But I do agree if there is a way to allow limited access or view-only for unregistered users/guests, then that would be good for SWAT..

If it cant be done, however, I vote to leave it like it is to keep all the bad apples out.

lol, think on ppl sayin' "hey, i'll go 2 fap now to solve my probs!"

Nice, lol
