uhmm just a note:

as soon as a thread is added on any ipborads forum, ipboard forums staff view it, and google staff does too.

thats a common info and thats count as 2 views, who knows who might be viewing it.

but google staff shows up as (google) and not as guest, idk about ipboarrd staff though

 

Or make them able to only see a tiny bit of the forum, which takes a way a lot of the issues aswell.

Just stop them from viewing the scripts category.

100% for this

I support this, this makes them register an account if they really want to bot and join the community. 

Yea I was surprised about that first time I came here, most botting boards ive been on throughout rs had restricted access to scripts and client sections and guest could only view off topic and unrelated forums

Listened to my suggestion while I was not signed in I couldn't view some of the topics

No support.  I doubt the "guests" are Jmods, letting guests view a forum lets them experience what the forum community atmosphere is, more people are likely to register.
