    Hello,

    I tweaked our anti spam system this morning, but stupidly did not make some other required changes. As a result it went a little kaka and deleted about 100 user accounts.

    These will have, at least, been refined to new registered users who are below 14 days old who are below 50 posts - and only if they fit certain other criteria.

    If you are affected, and don't mind, please create a new account.

    If you affected and want me to see if I can salvage your account at all please email me ASAP at: antony [at] b5tv.com (replace the [at] with an @ symbol). It won't be possible to restore your account completely, and unfortuantely I've not setup daily backups yet so can restore the database to this morning's version.

    Apologies for any inconvenience... I'm not happy that I did this!

    I can confirm that this only affected people with 0 posts - so the damage was limited.
