on Feb 11, 2020 I feel like this feature could be abused easily by spammers, and could lead to DoS attacks and less personality inside of the Cryb Platform.
Not necessarily. People would like to simply invite their friends sometimes without the need to log in, and that's a fact. Plus, with the proper management, spam could be avoided. Anyways, due to nature of how Cryb currently works, you cannot simply go exploring rooms and pop in a random one.
Some salty folks could create a script to "troll" their friends with this form of authentication. We could however add extra forms of authentication such as Google, GitHub, or Facebook for the users who don't have a Discord account. Having no forms of authentication removes the personal aspects of Cryb and having multiple "Guests" inside of your room leads to confusion and complicates it.
alternatively we can lock down rooms. E.g. with the knock feature Rabb.it had.
I disagree with guests removing personal aspects from Cryb, as the only personal thing is profile pictures and username. Which imo isn't overly personal.
Having guests is a good way for people to spread the word about a service too. since it's easy for their friends to try out without giving info to the service.
Reacted by NootThePenguinWe could integrate a more personal Guest system then just having "Guest 1" and "Guest 2". We can have the user enter their name (or a fake one if they desire) and an optional profile picture. No passwords, No personal info.

This is my preferred solution.
you would also need to add kick/ban features for this to work properly.
This is true, and I actually think kick + ban -> Knocking -> Guest mode is the proper order to implement this.
To go along with we still need user settings too.
No need for logging in to join a room. Just join and there, without registration. Would have a random avatar and such.
