I've been tnnhkiig about authority and user-generated content in the context of museums lately, and have decided that lots of the things that have been built into profile displays on forums (the number of posts, length of time on the forum, the ability to read previous posts by the same person) are about building an identity associated with a particular username. which then allows people to build a sense of trust (and authority) for that person. I guess we're wired to want to know who we're talking to.One quick comment registration doesn't stop spam bots, they know how to register now. But it does seem to slow them down so it's worth considering for that reason.

You’d need to contact the local zoning authority to find out the specific rules.The majority of these laws concern an issue regarding traffic. Neighbors are going to complain if you have 20 cars parked on the street everyday in a residential neighborhood. Also, neighbors would complain if they have an issue with the type of business going on next door (for example, if it’s an adult bookstore or a backyard cockfight ring).If a neighbor is babysitting 10 children and its disruptive to neighboring houses, the neighbors are going to complain to the zoning authority. Then the zoning laws give the zoning authority guidance on how to deal with the situation. Pretty much, unless there are complaints, it is very likely this homegrown business will be able to continue under the radar. In reality, the zoning laws are a lot more about handling neighborhood complaints than they are about policing what people choose to do in their own homes.I believe that if a neighbor is doing something that does not infringe on my privacy or space it doesn’t really matter what the zoning laws are. If a neighbor starts generating more traffic so I have trouble parking in front of my house, is generating a great deal of noise which is distrubing my own peace or is the cause for a lot of questionable characters to be roaming around my neighborhood – I should then file a complaint with the police and/or zoning authority and let them sort it out because that is really what those laws are for.
