Authorisation code
This has been introduced (in late November 2008) to make
it harder for those who have abused our forum to keep doing it.
The initial value of the authorisation code is the MYC race box
call-sign, with all letters in lower case, the two parts separated by a
hyphen, and no spaces.
Legalistic stuff
This is an unmoderated forum (i.e. an entry is not checked in any way
before it appears). Access to it is restricted only by the requirement
for an authorisation code; the forum is
intended for use by members of the MYC Squib fleet, and other MYC
members who have something Squib-relevant to contribute.
In these litigious (and almost thought-policed) times, I think it is
necessary for me to say that, if anything apparently actionable appears
in this forum then, once I know about it, it will be deleted on my next
access to the system. (The same may apply to anything insufficiently
relevant to the fleet.)
