You will still be able to connect to vent as a guest account. But once the guest account has been limited it will not be able to switch channels or any of the other stuff listed in red above.
If I see you on vent at anytime I'll make you an account, it only takes 10 seconds and you only have to put the password in once. I think there are only a couple more people left who don't have an account (Ribbed, Advent, Sr, Jr, and a couple regs)
I'll probably make another topic later that explains many of the new features to everyone.
Reasons for giving everyone accounts and limiting the guest account:
If the guest accounts are limited spammers can only disrupt the channel they are connected to (A default channel can be set)
Users who abuse certain ventrilo features can have access to those features removed. i.e If somebody abuses the paging feature that can be taken away from their account.
Other things can be done as well.
There is a for even more info

The Guest Accounts have been limited.
Restrictions applied:
Can't leave the lobby
Duplicate IP's not allowed
Only able to transmit in the lobby
Allowed to use global chat
If you don't already have an account contact me via Steam IM or Forum PM. If I see a guest in vent I will ask you to provide a password or you can just tell me to make one up for you.

Now that everyone has an account, stop hanging out in the lobby while your playing DOD:S.
Guest cannot leave the lobby and can only talk in the lobby, thus they can't spam you.
If a spammer joins leave the lobby if Doom, Nuisance, or I am not around to ban.
You can right click on their name and goto User>Lodge Complaint about...to notify me when I do sign on.
We just had one join, but he couldn't leave the lobby to go spam everyone in DOD:S. I went to go call him a noob before he left though.

Doom can because he is a level 3, I am a level 2 so I would have to have channel admin for any channel I wanted to do that to.
I didn't really talk about channel admin in the members section thread, so here it goes...
In order to define a channel for somebody to join the admin has to have channel admin to the channel, otherwise there will be no channels to select from.
...
Edit channel properties
Kick users back to the lobby from the channel
Ban users from a channel
Mute users in a channel they admin
Move users in a channel they admin
Only level 3 admins have control over the lobby.
Another solution is to force Guest to another channel instead of the lobby, only Doom can do this because I wasn't given ownership of the Guest account.
Level 2 and below admins can only modify account permissions they have ownership of.
They get ownership by creating the account, if they didn't create the account a level 3 admin can transfer ownership to them in the user editor.
Level 3's never lost the ability to edit any account no matter the owner.
Some of you might be lost on the whole level 1,2,3 thing, don't worry about it...it's on a need to know basis :P
