Banned Useres And System Changes
Antigen:
Ok, so we tweaked a bunch of code (no, Bill tweaked a bunch of code) and made a few mistakes in the process. Sorry for those, but I think everything's fixed now.
We did tighten up the spam filters considerably! I'm sure some ppl will wind up banned for no good reason. Please don't hesitate a minute to let us know if you got banned and you weren't trying pretty damned hard to take down the server! Or even if you know of someone who has been banned by accident. I know we'll find bugs in the new code. Please help us find them so we don't lock anybody out who's just trying to participate.
Thanks, ya'll. I've really enjoyed revisiting some of the older threads. Should we save it as a 'best of' sort of retrospective?
Every act of a delegated authority, contrary to the tenor of the commission under which it is exercised, is void. No legislative act, therefore, contrary to the Constitution, can be valid. To deny this, would be to affirm, that the deputy is greater than his principal; that the servant is above his master; that the representatives of the people are superior to the people themselves; that men acting by virtue of powers, may do not only what their powers do not authorize, but what they forbid."

if an innocent party were banned, could they still get through to your email?

Yes. We changed it so that banned ppl can read but can't post. That way, when someone uses a popular proxy to flood, it'll inconvenience other users but not totally shut them out.
We did accidentally blow out everything Cayo Hueso has posted from her favorite location since her ISP changed her IP address. I'm working on restoring all that now. So we also made it so that posts deleted by IP address are not really deleted. They're just flagged and ignored by the forum software. But I can go in and restore them if they get flagged in error.
And it's bound to happen, what w/ the automagical spam filtering. I expect to spend some time fixing errors and tweaking the rules. So please, please don't anybody hesitate to let us know if something's not right.
Thanks
Fear believes--courage doubts. Fear falls up the earth and prays--- courage stands erect and thinks. Fear is barbarism---courage is civilization. Fear believes in witchcraft, devils and ghosts. Fear is religion, courage is science.

Censorship!!! :smokin: :wave:
When we are pleading with foreign governments to stop the flow of cocaine, it is the height of hypocrisy for the US to export tobacco. Years from now, our nation will look back on this application of free trade policy and find it scandalous.
