Making a Guests Forum |

Hey everyone.
So i want to make a guests only forum. Everything seemed fine, i posted as a guest. However, two things were a problem.
1) The guests could not see the content of the thread. I have Jammers "Guests can not view threads" plugin. This was despite the fact i enabled guests to view threads for this forum in particular.
2)When i was doing a test post as a guest, it asks for a username and password, is there anyway to remove that or do something with it so that they are called Guest1, Guest2 etc etc by default?
Thanks.

Many new "members" with the same naming theme |

Hello - first-time poster here.
Let me preface this post by saying that I am NOT the admin on my forum. Rather, I am a poster/mod on there. So, my tech understanding of the board code is non-existant.
That aside, I'm having issues keeping a rash of new forum members in check. It seems all of these new "members" start accounts, do not post and leave ads in their profile signatures. They all have the common theme of having two normal names smashed together with a random letter at the front and back (i.e. "pcoreyhayesn" = p+corey+hayes+n).
When I run searches on the names, often they have joined multiple forums within the preceeding day or days, again never posting. Other times, I will check the IP info and find that several of these users will trace back to the same locality - clearly it's the same person registering multiple accounts.
Are these people run-of-the-mill human spammers? Are they bots ? What's going on here and how can I fight it?
Thanks for your help.
