Hello,

The site was bombarded by spam today. I’ve enabled a feature that requires all posts to be approved before they are posted. Once you’ve had a post approved, you should be able to post again without approval as long as you use the same name. This will slow down the spammers, but possibly also you’re communication with your fellows. Sorry for any delays.
