Earlier today, the Digital Economy Bill was passed by our pathetic upstanding publishing company lapdogs Members of parliament after ignoring the truth for the sake of more under the table bonuses carefully considering what was best for the country.

Dead duck software does not and never will condone piracy, however it is disgusting that media companies can be given what is essentially free reign to dictate what uk citizens can and cannot access with their internet connections. They are not some sort of secret gestapo (however much they would like to be) and should not be given any more power than any other company has.

"Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating? It is the exact opposite of the stupid hedonistic Utopias that the old reformers imagined. A world of fear and treachery and torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but more merciless as it refines itself. Progress in our world will be progress toward more pain." - George Orwell, 1984

Unfortunately we seem to have a bit of a problem with filthy spammers signing up for new accounts and then spamming the news posts and forums. Until we can work out how to prevent this then I have required that new user registrations require activation by an administrator before they can post.

Sorry for the inconvenience.



-P
[EDIT]Ok, ive attempted to block the main areas where the spammers have been coming from, so if the frequency of requests decrease over the next few days, user registration will be back to normal
