Hello people , as you may or may not be aware we have a spammer that posts
links to sexual content sites. This is of course an unacceptable situation
so I had to delete all existing invite links.

This means that from now on I will not allow members to create their own
invite links and I will also not allow more than one link to be active at
a  time so I know which link is compromised. The invite link will no longer
be public but shared privately only by Admins to people who are already
active here and it will be shared only through personal emails and
messages.

I have also raised the level of automatic moderation , from now on new
members wont be able to post in our server unless they have a verified
email with Discord. Also all messages are automatically scanned by Discord
from now on for improper behavior.

I am sorry for this inconvenience but its all part of having a very active
community, it was just a matter of time till we attracted the attention of
spammers.

This does not affect our almost 1000 existing members on Discord server so
if you already a member you have nothing to worry about. This affects only
new people who like to join.

If you are new and you like to join I will send you an invite link ONLY if
you are active in this mailing list and after you are ask for one. You can
use this thread by providing your Discord ID (you get this when you
register with discord) and I will send you a personal message in Discord
with an invite link. By active I mean that you have substantial
participation in this mailing list which means at least 3 posts.

If you are a member or admin and post the link publicly , its not a
problem, but please be aware that if the link is compromised then I will
delete it and create new making new members unable to join with the old
one. So use the link wisely.

You can also contact one of the other admins , if you know who they are and
they know who you are. If you dont then use this thread and be patient.
Once you join there are no restrictions or anything else that will make
your life not easy.

Happy Pharoing ;)
