Changes to access

[Rayc]

As a result of a series of posts from new users with no connection or relevance to this forum there have been some changes to the access permissions. Please note at no time did these users have access to the private forum.

If you are encouraging any owners to get involved in the forum, please bear the following in mind.

From now on new users can register on the site as normal, however they are unable to post until their registration has been authorised. New registrations are automatically notified to admin, so I would hope that most genuine users will get access within 24 hours.

The existing process of notifying ownership status (with evidence) still stands to access the private forum. So new authenticated users do not automatically get access to the private forums.

I will continue to monitor the forum closely over the next few days to ensure that the measures taken protect the forum from abuse and hijacking. Sunday night was an epic night in an online battle with the individuals concerned.

Thanks
Ray
