I would like to create a Guest account that can be used as a place holder for when we have guest speakers.  All other searches I've done on this says that if I use the Quick Add in Membership management I can just put the name in curly backets (i.e. {Guest Speaker}), but that doesn't seem to work.  How can I create a dummy account to use in the agendas for guest speakers without having to have an opt-in email?

Create an account called Guest
No brackets, no email address.
Use it as your role holder for any guest on the agenda.
Thank you,

All members need to need to opt in, regardless of whether you are adding addresses individually or by using Quick Add.

In this case, when you add the {Guest} member, put your own email address in the email field. Once you've opted in as the dummy member, remove your email address and save. It will then default to a "noemail" address.

As Brian said the braces are not necessary. However, their presence forces the dummy member to the bottom of the list in the agenda edit/role assignment drop-down and in the role reports.

It creates the account with a dummy email address, but the account has a line through it. It won't make the account active until the account responds to an opt-in email.

That won't work since my email is already in use by my own Member account.
