The new rules don't affect logged-in members at all, except in one way: the ethos of the place should be much improved now that it's free of anonymous cowardly snipers, and that should rub off. As I've said before, it was a bit like the Wild West. I'm optimistic, but if I'm wrong the place is just a basket case. We can only try.
