admin has created a new private forum with the aim of removing most of the "friction" between rival groups from the main forum.

To access this new forum please go to ucp.php?i=167 and request membership, which will be granted when a group leader is online to action the request.

Some of the usual suspects will be added to the group that can view the new forum.

If topics on the public SDT forums get out of hand then they will be moved to this new forum.

All open SDT forums will now be more firmly moderated, the forum's Etiquette and T&Cs are still in force in the new private forum but more latitude will be given. More details will be posted in the new forum when somebody thinks of them
