Important WKC Updates

[Troy]

Weber collecting has grown big enough to attract professional scammers.

These scammers have already made attempts to scam several community members. Luckily the WKC members were savvy enough to smell the scam.

As of Feb 4, 2021 - The WKC forums are closed to NEW MEMBERSHIP.

There's currently a secret passphrase on the sign-up page, and only trusted members will be able to give access.

Step 1. Keep out the creepers. check.
Step 2. Kick out the creepers

I'll be whittling down the WKC userbase. Any account with 0 posts is getting removed. Should have spoke up!

BUYING / SELLING / TRADING
It's time for these sections to go private. These sections will no longer be accessible to non-logged-in users.

I'll also be implementing a karma system that we can use to house a reputation system, both for posting and for buying/trading.

In the meantime - don't send money to anyone that someone on the WKC can vouch for.

Happy 2021. Watch your fingers.

Probably not a bad idea to make some changes in light of what has been going on.  Sad state of things when people feel the need to go after kettle heads to make an easy illegitimate buck.  Hopefully things will improve in the future and things like this won't be so necessary.

Buying/Selling/Trading going private is great though!  Thanks for trying to keep things running smoothly Troy!

That's an aggressive move. Your users should appreciate that.

Somehow ALL of the forums are now LOGGED IN USERS ONLY

It was a mistake, but I'm going to leave it like this for a minute and take the opportunity to fix a few other bugs
