People who are new to your server would not have an account login name by default. This means they fall into the Guest account and will be assigned the rights as defined in the (Guest) account via the User Editor.

After you have created custom login names for those people you feel deserve their own account, you should consider turning off the following rights for guest accounts to prevent trouble makers from causing problems. Please note that the server will prevent you from assigning certain rights to the guest account as well.

Network:

Add phantoms
Ignore inactivity timers
Send complaints
Duplicate IP's = Do not allow

Transmit:

Broadcast to lobby
Broadcast User-to-User
Broadcast Cross Channel
Send TTS
Send Wave File Binds
Send Pages
Set Phonetic
Generate Comment Sounds
Event Sounds Conn/Disc
Initiate private chat
Use Equalizer

Channels can also be configured to prevent guest accounts from joining them. Or, you might let them join the channel but you don't want them to be able to transmit into the channel. This is controlled on a per-channel basis via the Channel Admin - Create and Edit menu options.
