Simon.  There is a committee zoom call on the 18th.  I can’t attend.  I will ask them to invite you on to discuss this.

I’ve been looking on line how to enable this function, and it may well not work.  We would have to test it before committing to anything.  We have the most basic forum software there is.  It is probably extendable with plug-ins, but they are not free and I have no budget.

No, there is no easy way forward.

The supplied forum software does not have a “report” button or feature.  Nor do we have a team of people standing by to deal with any reports.

The only way we could be compliant with the new rules, would be to moderate every post before it was displayed on the forum, and I have not found anyone willing to take that role on.  I will be away a lot this year, so I’m not willing to do it.

I should point out, that the existing posts will remain visible and searchable, as now, but no new posts added.

Unless someone else wants to take it on, of course.

Having followed the governments risk assessment for online forums and the like, I can just state that there is zero percent chance I will be keeping the forums open past the 16th March.  I would be open to what is effectively unlimited personal liability.

However if someone else wants to take over the website then I would happily step aside, either today or at the AGM.

Yes, that’s correct.

I have written a short article for the next Yowl.   As I point out there, you can create a Facebook account using entirely false information.
