I do notice there is now an option to reject posts from non-members,

gruesome countenance. He walks towards KING ARTHUR and PATSY, who are
wazzing like mad. (Salopian slang, meaning very scared. almost to the
point of wetting oneself, e.g. before an important football match or
prior to a postering. Salopian slang meaning a beating by the school
praeposters. Sorry about the Salopian slant to this stage direction - Ed.)
