Moderators should make a polciy for each person who want to discuss the Forum issues, have PPID. Without PPID the thread should not be entered upon in any Section of Forum. This is common practice in all Forums. These Forums do not allow anyone to get access without proper login ID.
Rest assured that the PP team and the moderators are discussing the Forum Guest issue. It may not last much longer (at least not in its present form).
As to advertising (and this has also been discussed among the PP/moderator team), there is a distinction between a blatant advertisement and a post that is contributing to the subject at hand. The desire is to limit vendors from spamming the forums with advertising and not contributing anything of value. First time posters (or forum guests) who post advertisements will be handled more strictly than a member who is contributing and on topic. It is a judgement call on the part of the moderator team.
The current consensus is that signature links are fine as long as the posts are contributing something of value. They also help establish a point of reference for evaluating the posters input.
