Yes, next week is Kinks week on my blog. Sorry, Paul, but Ray's birthday trumped you this year! Great entries. Hope my comments went through. I forgot to click on "other" for identity before posting. I only remembered for Dead End and Sunny. Nice way to celebrate! Happy Ray Day everyone.

The comments haven't come through yet, RoRo -- try again? I know you'd have something interesting to say!

So, from what I can vaguely remember from the start of this thread, suggestions so far are: - More subsections so people can find the stuff they're interested in faster, e.g. Ray Davies News, Dave Davies News, Kinks Stuff, Misc etc.
- Barring of repeat spammer IP addresses
- Disabling exalt/smite feature, or just the smite feature
- A chatroom of our own
- No more guest posting OR guests not allowed to post links OR a character limit on guests'/all posts OR include certain characters that no-one ever uses on the profanity filter which the spammers keep using in their posts
- A re-jig of the profanity filter so that we talk about stuff like D!ckens and Hitchc*ck without thingys popping up all over the place. So to speak
- A more soothing skin colour, such as purple or blue or something
- Oh yes, and little umbrellas in all the drinks ;D
I have lots to catch up on here, but I agree with the above and more easy with posting photos to share with all of the family out there! Some of us are technically challenged.

Yup. Too bad aeroncole hasn't come back since then to make the changes.

Time to clean up our act over here -- starting with the spammers. Aeron says he doesn't have time to police this board daily, so I have agreed to help him out by deleting all spam as it appears. (Then maybe we can figure out how to ban it more effectively in the long run.)
If anyone notices any other posts you find offensive, please PM me to let me know. We've also modified the censor slightly so that silly things like "Hitchthingy" instead of "Hitchcock" don't happen any more.

A few other changes --- new topic organization, as you all can see, per your suggestions in the above thread.
Guests now can read the board but only registered members can post. (Sorry, GIB, we LOVE YOU, but the spammers can't post if guests are prohibited -- so this is the only way to keep the board spam-free. GIB should register so we won't miss her Waylon and Johnny C news!!!)
PLEASE PM ME with any other changes you feel need to be made. I've deleted tons of spam, but if anybody discovers any other pockets of it lurking in any threads, please PM me so I can root it out. (You guys should see me weeding flowerbeds too -- same obsessive behaviour.)
Also, please weigh in on the karma question, and the question of forum colors. What color is the text for most of you? Should it be changed?

Very good changes, Holly. I'm very happy we can have you to help Aeron, I can't think of a better person to do that. About the Karma thing, I would directly delete it.

Hello all Just back from a lovely holiday in Malta - it was absolutely scorching over there! Seems like a lot has been going on while I've been away, and I love the new look of the board. Good Luck in your new role, Hollyh!

One last change -- by popular demand, we have disabled the smite/karma feature. We'll just have to find some new ways to share the love from now on.
