I have noticed lately that there are a few members logging on "Under the Radar" as a "Guest".
Seems a bit strange to me :angel:

Doesn't make any sense.  As I understand it, they'd only be able to read the Public Forum stuff. :scratch_one-s_head:

On the contrary, these guys have FULL access and only show up when posting.
They don't show up on the "Who is on line" page but they are there when logged on as a guest  :ok:

I just logged in as a guest and could only access the Public stuff + the Gallery.

They have their privacy option ticked in Control Panel.
I should probably do it as generally I don;t logout
but quite often not here.

Tick this box and you will not appear on Who's On Line


I should now be invisible.

One of the superpowers we moderators have is the ability to see invisible people.

However, as you can see, "invisible people" and "guests" are two different categories. "Guests" are lurkers - either non-members viewing the forum, or members who for whatever reason are not logged on.

Many of these "guests" are unwelcome ones - spambots. The larger and older our forum gets, the more such critters we will attract.

Very few of them make it through Mark's security.
