I decided to let guests post in designated areas with my Approval. The part I made for this was a part of my board that needs attention. Then I made the promise that the best topics will be saved an eventuality moved to a members only section. Was this a bad idea?

I don't think it's either good or bad inherently, but I have to ask what's the purpose of it? Why should a guest be motivated to make a "best topic" that they will eventually not be able to see?

True enough it sounded good in my head. I got rid of that. Maybe I will keep the best topics where they are.

Hey Speaks...
Personally, I wouldn't allow guests to post anywhere on my forum. It invites trolls and you may get a nasty surprise when you come back to your forum, and see some unpleasant posts.
Also, you want to attract members, and if you allow guests to post, even in just one section, then they may have no motivation to become a member.

I have a post quarantine on those areas. I opened up the board for viewing. Realized blocking people from reading was not a good idea. Live and learn.
