Membership Changes On Soul Source

[Mike]

Just so aware next week be bringing in a change to the way membership works on here

Always have tried to keep soul source as open as possible and easy to use and join as possible

Unfortunately due to the actions of a few and the time needed to deal with the effects there is a need to change things

Next week be bringing in a new two group system of membership

basic account

normal account

the basic account is for those who prefer a degree of anonymity and have no need for pms or need for a clear id

the normal account will offer the same features of the current account and is aimed at the vast majority of members who have a clear id

for current members with a clear id it should have no effect, will still have the same features and so on,

while those who due to their use of site or email have a unclear id they will still have the same features less the use of pms and will no longer be able to post up accusations without proof

new members will be able to sign up same as before and will be in the basic account

any member can move from the basic account into the normal account, either by use of site such as posts, or providing a clear email or by confirming id in other ways

the above is a basic outline and posting just to give notice

more details will follow along with a rewritten guidelines and privacy policy and terms of use

as said it should not make a major difference to site, and while it is something been trying to avoid due to the serious nature of both background and onsite events can no longer leave things as they are

thanks to the vast majority of members who do try and follow the guidelines on here and have made the site what it is

the end result should hopefully get things back on track, all members who need it will have a clear id and those who dont will have a choice
