Yea dude I posted a Lounge topic in the General Chat section cause I thought they deleted it.

I thought the same after what happened last week....GREAT idea!!!!!!

But I still don't get it all. How are they posting as guests if that'* not allowed?

They're not. Those users have been deleted.

Rog.

... But if they were posting as members, what good is it to make the Lounge member-only?

I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me when I first went to the site this morning and couldn't see the Lounge section before I logged on.

What is better about having people log in to see posts? Why would someone not want to log in?

Most heated discussions often centralize in the Lounge section. By eliminating public viewing, it will help prevent further incidents in the future. A lot of message boards use a full lockdown, but that is quite unnecessary here.
