AALBC Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 I really hate to disable this feature, but spammers are inundating the site with spammy guests posts and I'm spending too much time deleting unapproved posts I need to prevent Guests (non-registered users) from being able to post -- even it those posts must be approved first I simply can't figure out how to do this. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
