> PINNED MESSAGE Hello everyone, I'm not sure how to start this message but here we go. There has been a bunch of confusion, distress and panic over the deletions of old archived posts, alongside the onslaught of spammers, phishers and hackers appearing in our posts. This has all been taken care of, and I apologize deeply. Many people have seen the messages sent from this account and the abusive use of my powers. This was not a mistake and this was not from a "hacker". I would like to start fresh, as i am completely and deeply sorry for what was said to the community and the archives deleted. I have and will continue to restore archive posts as there are backups in place thanks to our beloved automod. Some of you may not be able to forgive me but that is perfectly okay. For everyone else, please try to view me as a new person from this day forward. Furthermore, I am implementing some community changes and I would appreciate feedback. I am lifting the member requirement to entry level posts. I am also allowing posts to be locked for any grade of user desired. I want dd.net to be a tool for anyone and a community to those who need. With these changes, all posts will be visible by any who visit our community. I know that some people will not like this change, that is why you can still lock posts if you desired to any grade of user. Also, weekly movie night is back on, I hope to see you there.
