The Admin team has created a new section for birthday projects in the "News" subforum; please post all birthday projects there from now on.

Thank you!

-----------------------

Also, some unnecessary restrictions should be removed. I couldn't update the "List of Apollo program crew (moonwalkers) members/survivors" thread because I couldn't enter "Honorable mentions" area.

There seem to be some open threads talking about the earthquake happened in Japan, but I can't read them. However, if I press the logout button, then I will be able to read them finely.

I don't think there's much point in prohibiting specific people like me and Futurist from viewing something that, which can be viewed by simple log-out. Alternatively, it is reasonable to change the permissions so that reading is possible but posting is prohibited. (Thanks people for "like"ing my above post! - I want to give you all a virtual hug.<3)

Dear @record_116, I have just replied to your e-mail. 🙂 

You raise a good point in regards with the subforums you were no longer able to see when logged in; I have changed the settings for those, so you should be able to access them - but cannot make posts in them. You will be able to regain permission to post should your behaviour improve in the long term.

I’m obviously not the admin of this forum or even a staff member of it (I’ve only made 10 posts and this is my first post in a little over 9 months), but you do raise a very good point about it not really making sense to prevent people from viewing something while logged in if they can just log out and view it- that just defeats the purpose, doesn’t it?

Based on your feedback, I've had a constructive discussion with my team of moderators and here's what we've done:

1. I've reset the notifications to the original settings, meaning you should receive notifications once more.

2. I've unsuspended Record two days earlier than planned (Christmas spirit!) but we've changed his member group to the same one as Futurist - meaning, he'll have limited options.

3. I'll clarify to Record that this is his last chance before a permanent ban.

4. Also, I've created a new e-mail account for this forum, admin@globalsupercentenarianforum.com , which hopefully allows new members to register more easily now. EDIT: Nope, still doesn't work. You'll still need to send an e-mail to gsf.welcome@gmail.com so I can help you.

Here's hoping these changes will be for the better! 🤗 

Wherever possible, like those views above, I feel permanent removals should occur, rather than removing features from the site. This of course punishes the 99.9% of our members that follow the rules and respect the others here.
