What exactly is the point of the "Guest" user? I don't quite understand it.

In upcoming additions, there are a lot more things that a member can do. Thus necessitating a user mod control panel so that you can delegate out the ability for members to be able to delete a member. When deleting a member, you may not always want their touch deleted as well. For example, there is a forum mod almost completed. You may want to delete the member, but deleting their posts in a forum might disrupt the flow of some threads, so you may want to leave their posts even though you deleted their account. Or if they have uploaded games and you don't want to delete the games. In this case, the script checks to see if the member account exists, and if it does not, it lists the contribution to the guest account.

Make sense?
