The trouble, when you come in as a GUEST, is that there's no way of knowing whether it's you or anyone else. It's a choice people make when they decide not to come in as members (or that's imposed on them sometimes by the computer system they are using.)

"Encowering" - that's a good neologism. Less clumsy than "disempowering", or "intimnidating" but has the same kind of meaning. And it doesn't sound so much like psychobabble either, for some reason.
