tis annoying that i cant send non-seloc users links to view seloc posts.

As regards registration, does it go through automatically, or does it have to be approved as in S_E by a moderator?

It goes through automatically Tut.
You just click on the link that you get emailed and that activates your registration.

can u make secure forums?
if so, u could make a manual approval post-activation

Phil,

I think that can be done but it means that new posters may need to wait a few hours for the mods to notice. Homosapiens are generally impatient so i think automatic registraiton is a good thing.

At present we can moderate as we see fit and also delete anyone who displays moronic tendencies. we can also monitor IP addresses so there is a degree of security

Free to view and register to post seems best to me

Dragging this up again - do we still agree that totally private is the way to go?

I think we may get more sign ups if we open it to viewing by all, but restrict posting to registered members?

Shall I go ahead with this, or are there any objections?

I don't mind but I would like to put a restriction on the Meets section. Someone on the Yahoo group mentioned other forums being infiltrated so keeping meets private would be best IMHO.

Post by **simon** » Tue Apr 26, 2005 7:20 pm

Done.
All forums bar the meets one are now viewable but you must register to post.

Okay, lots of time given for objections then...

Good call on the meets forum though. You going on the Borders Blat?

Post by **simon** » Wed Apr 27, 2005 12:10 pm

I was bored so thought I'd do it.

I can't go on the borders blat cos I'm getting my geo done in glenrothes at 8.30 on saturday.

Don't you two get bored talking to each other... or is there more to this relationship than meets the eye..
