Title: Forum Update:
Description: suggestions from everyone
JEHT - September 8, 2008 06:59 AM (GMT)
Hi all,
You would have noticed that I merged the MARS status channel with this channel as the status channel wasn't being used much. I am open to suggestions on how we can best organise our forum to meet our needs.
Oh yes, to prevent us from getting hit by porn spam, we now require admin approval for all new accounts.

I've just approved 4 new users and rejected 39 users whose email address look like spam emails. If you are a legitimate user who did not get approval, please send me an email via ghc@mars.org.au
I'm also placing on notice anyone who's only made 1 post - odds are your account belongs to a spam bot, and I'll be deleting it shortly. You're welcome to re-register again if you're a geniune user.
Thanx.

I've just pruned 105 users which might include a small number of genuine users. My apologies. Please follow the instructions on the previous post so that I may approve you as a member on the forum.
The good news is that we now have a legit list of members on this board (currently stands at 50).
