When not logged in - no 'spam' or 'photography' sub-forum?

I accidently noticed this when I wasn't logged in and was on the Halloween forum skin...

Basically, the 2 sub-forums titled "Other graphics, including pictures and photography" and "spam" don't seem to exist?

I'm not sure whether this was designed to happen or not, or whether those sub-forums have been removed from most skins. But yeah, just curious to why they're not there.

Note; I thought the spam sub-forum might only be for registered users? Not sure though...

It's meant to be like that. :P

The photography includes the post a pic if yourself so that is why.

Spam is due to the crawlers searching the forums, so they don't think the whole site is just spam, photography is because there's a PAPOY thread (i think) afaik :)

Unregistered users can't see the Photography forum because any old paedophile could just come along and browse. Naturally, they could just sign up and see everything, but it's just an extra safety precaution (and one which I agree with).

Oh right! It all makes sense now xL - All I could imagine was a 'guest' being unable to view a picture of a landscape or something. But yeah, def. agree with the whole 'perv' situation. Oh and thanks for the help both of you ;3
