Now they are not only re-opening some forums, but they have found a work-around for users in Pakistan who have to use anonymizers and whose IP addresses thus cannot be checked.
Hats off
cheers

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: ATTN SAT USERS: SOME FORUMS RE-OPENED, SOME USERS SUSPENDED Date: Fri, 1 Apr 2005 16:53:03 -0500 (EST) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Some of the SAT Discussion Forums have been reopened after the first round of scrutiny checks in which several users, found to be using fake identities or incorrect locations, have been suspended.
All other users can resume discussions on the Four Subjects reopened for discussions. Other subjects will stay blocked until more scrutiny is completed.
As a new rule only 4 subjects will be open for Discussion at any given time so that the Forums can be better monitored and decorum and discipline is maintained.
To keep the spirit of free Press, the Forums are not yet being put under Moderation, so users can post messages uncensored but those abusing the Forums will be immediately suspended and removed.
ALL THE SUSPENDED USERS ARE ADVISED TO SEND FULL DETAILS, CONTACT NUMBERS, ADDRESSES AND REAL IDENTITY TO THE ADMIN, WHICH CAN BE COUNTER-CHECKED AND VERIFIED. IF FOUND IN ORDER, THEY MAY BE REMOVED FROM THE SUSPENDED LIST AND ALSO ALLOWED TO USE AN ANONYMOUS NAME, BUT ADMIN HAS TO BE SATISFIED.
Users in Pakistan, where the SAT Forums are blocked, may send their details directly to the Admin, in reply to this message, and if found in order, they will be allowed to use anonymizer sites for joining the discussions.
