Hi all - I made a few changes to the forum to try and prevent the spam and fake account that seem to be a regular part of the upkeep of any site these days. However, the filters seem to be very much a binary affair. They either stop none members from viewing and posting or they don't. So, from now, it will be necessary to be logged in to see the forum. Then I have instigated a 'request to join' protocol.
Most of these things go against my 'open-house' policy and the free sharing of information, so I am not sure how I feel about it myself.
However, I can't seem to find a 'middle way' using the settings at my disposal. I am open to feedback about how this affects things and will l listen.
How about we see how it goes for a while and then review?
If it really slows down new membership or interaction, then obviously that is an undesirable outcome.
I will update soon, feel free to chip in with opinions below -if you can still post without being blocked that is
