Following previous queries about this feature, I decided as an experiment to log out and to post a question as a "non-logged in visitor". When the question appeared (after a delay of 6 days), the page was in a dumbed down format which does not allow me to:
1) Respond to or thank other users
2) Add anything in the discussion box
3) Award points
4) Squash the question

Don't hold your breath... Oct 23

They took months to answer a query from me on this subject, and said that non-logged-in visitors were sent a password that enabled them to interact with others.

If your experience is anything to go by, this is not the case.

I agree that if these people can't talk to us, or say thank you, or award points -- and it's not their fault -- they shouldn't be able to ask questions.

There probably WAS a point in it ... at the time when proz.com was freshly created and needed some way of making itself known for free.

Today it's no more than what I would call "an archaeological layer", long overdue for retirement.
