I'm aware not everyone would like a completely free forum between the other account dependent forums. The idea behind are e.g. these 2 scenarios:
1. Imagine a player has some trouble with his account and is looking for help in the forum. Bad luck: With his account not working he can't ask, writing a ticket his last and only chance.
2. Potential but yet undecided new players have some questions which are essential for the decision to make an account at all. Basic things like "does Ryzom have PVP and how exactly does it work?" for instance. Bad luck again since this player has no account yet and can't ask.
Of course such a completely free forum needs to be administrated and under strong rules. Any post that even slightly smells like spam or troll post could and should be deleted immediately and without any further comment. There also should be the common anti spam-bot question before anyone could post.
It's sure some extra work, but please take this whole idea as some sort of 'extended advertising': Players new to Ryzom would feel more welcome while on the other hand this could prevent lots of frustration for those players, who never would have started to play at all with the right information at first.
