New rule for restricting member access

ProPain · 13-01-2004, 22:40

The last few months there have been 2 incidents where someone would limit access to his personal spoiler forum. We don't favor this kind of behaviour because:

* New members can't see the forum until you explicitly allow them
* You are encouraging DLs since their new DL will be unknown to you
* It doesn't really resolve the underlying issues

These problems that arise from restricted access will only increase when CDZ will grow. Therefore anarres and I decided that restricting access to your personal spoiler forum is not allowed from now on. People who have this option installed are asked to remove this asap.

If you have a problem with someone who is:
* restricting your access to his/her forum
* spamming/trolling/flaming your forum so it becomes onworkable

Please contact anarres or me and we'll resolve the issue.

I'd like to stress that this measure is here only for the personal fora, the ISDG forum will stay restricted of course. Also anarres and me can always decide to [u]allow</u> someone to restrict access to his/her personal forum when there is a valid reason for this.

We hope this will prevent future unrest.
