It's possible but not recommended because of spam.

Having the shoutbox permissions change who can make a shout would make more sense than opposed to who can view it. While having guests make shouts is fairly pointless (and spammy), there are uses for having shout/view permissions separate.

It would require a few rewrites of how the permissions are handled. Perhaps feature request it?

well if there is no simple way of doing so i guess i could make a require, since the site im setting up doesnt currently let users register but i still want to get user feedback/request in shoutbox
