Someone may have already mentioned this, but how about an option to allow the admin to control where guests can post on the board, so they could have a dedicated "guest posting" area without making the entire board accessible to guests?

Also, something that might be useful (for more lazy members): If a guest posts, have a place where they can enter their username and password before posting, so they can post without having to login? I think Snitz Forums (ASP-based forum) has something like this. I know this sounds stupid, but this would allow members to post using their membername even if they didn't log in to the board, which might be useful if they're on a shared computer...

I do believe this has been taken care of with the new permission system if I'm not mistaken :)

You can allow Guests to view and/or psot in any board.

I could, for example, make all the boards in this forum members only.

hey I have interesting idea... I've mention that guests mostly spamming only when they create own thread but not when reply on topics... so is it possible to make for cetain boards restriction so guest can only answer on existed threads, since I think it's fairt that someone just wish to tell his opinion and go away without registration but I also would like to avoid excess spamming oportunities.

Yep, that's possible.  Gotta love permissions ;).
