- I think the question here is not a matter of closing the site, but simply
- using common sense security mesures.
- simple. All you do is create incoming directorys and assign an administrator
- who is an active participant in the amiga comunity to actually transfer the
- files to the proper locations. If you wish further - simply make it non-read.
- now - people can put files there for the community, and it must go through
- a screening process to get in an 'active' state. This is common practice
- in most bbs's - so why not here?
-
- They dont have the time to moderate? then ask for vollenteers. Sheesh. I
- would even moderate it if I could.
-
- 'nuff said.
