New forum permissions under trial

[zdooder]

Hi all!

With special thanks to Ace_DK for helping me test, I've run through and reconfigured the permissions on all the forums. This is an effort to cut back on some of the spam we've been seeing, hopefully this won't stop them from posting it but it'll sit in a moderation queue until we can clean it (plus having it in the queue will make it easier to clean).

BUT, that said, it's entirely possible that I messed up something. So if you see something, say something. If (because it's a permissions-related issue) you can't post here, feel free to reach out to me on Discord or via e-mail (check the signature below).

Thanks!

And enjoy the (hopefully) more spam-free experience!

(Thanks, Ace!)

Also, if you do see any spam on the forum, please feel free to hit the "Report this Post" button (it's the box with the exclamation mark on the toolbar in the upper right corner of each post) which now, thanks to literally 2 hours of debugging(*) should be working again!

Thanks!

(*) the last step of which was realizing I'd been editing the wrong file for 2 hours.

Thanks Zdood and Ace!

Nice to see the spam rate go down!

4 frustrated spammers and me?

Probably bots, so I dunno how frustrated they would be. But I'll take it.
