    Got a question for the admins. If there's a user who post in a forum and you click on their icon/avatar and get directed to a message that says" the user has not registered therefore they have no profile" my question is if they didn't register how did they ever get to post? I know when I come to the sight and read some of the forums before logging in to see what's going on and forget to log on I get a message telling me I have to sign in or register.
    Just curious how that works.


    btw I noticed they were removed.

    Hi

    Likely a user that we are in process of deleting or have deleted and left a post by accident, their user rank would be guest.

    If you see any that are flagged as guest do let me know and I will delete them (report a post is fine)

    Cheers

    Hi

    Yes it was a spammer with that P11 account, likely I was deleting their account and posts, the account likely went first this time, depends how quick the delete posts or delete account options work, two seperate screens and actions.
