│ A NOTE ABOUT ACCESS LEVELS │
│ │
└─────────────────────────────────┘
All users for their first time logging onto the board will have a limited
access level, allowing you only to do a few of the above functions. Once
your registration information has been confirmed and verified, we will
automatically increase your access level to normal user, usually, within
two days. You will notice the change in the log on message, telling you
that your user status is no longer * New User * or * Limited User *, but
* Validated User *. This will give you standard level access, permitting
downloading, uploading etc.... There is also an Advanced User Access level
permitting nearly unlimited access to areas of the BBS. Only the sysop(s),
current staff, or associates will be given this access level.
Thank-you
