25K Now! Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 So I was checking out the active users list and I found several members named Google, MSN/Bing and [social Networking Site That Had A Movie Made For It That I'm Pretty Sure I'm Not Allowed To Mention]. This obviously confused me, for I didn't think anybody would name themselves that. I inspected them more carefully, and found that they seemed to be Guests with names.Why exactly are they there? http://vimeo.com/198967785 BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reznas Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) Since they are guests, their names probably weren't noticed by the staff. Most likely they're people just browsing the site. They also could be people trying advertise certain sites. If you see someone like that, just report them to the staff, and you should be fine.-RezEDIT: Also, you should check the BZPower Advertising Policy to get an idea of what sites are allowed to be mentioned and which one aren't. It also might be helpful if you could link to us the member profiles so we can see what they are.EDIT2: This topic may be of some help on understanding guests and stuff. You should probably still report them, even though they're deleted. Edited January 10, 2012 by .:Reznas:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambi Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I heard somewhere they were search engines, but I'm not exactly sure how/what they're doing. [my blog] [custom emotes] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatanui Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 They are simply search bots on one of their countless daily strolls around the Internet, so nothing you have to worry or can do anything about. ~Gata. - Gata Please don't use my avatar or signature without permission, thanks!

Mysterious Minifig Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 In this case Gatanui is correct. The board can recolonize when certain sites are viewing pages on our site, and so it lists them as their site name, rather then as just a guest.Question Answered...Topic Closed...
