resolved and has re-emerged.
In short, we are now simply requiring "City" to be filled out when new
people register. This means people never have to manually "sign" their
posts to conform to our long standing rules.
This should only be required to register, but for some reason it is
being retroactively stubborn for people attempting to post who do not
have that field updated.
We will be in touch immediately with the folks in New Zealand who host
our forums (they are sleeping) to re-fix the problem.
We are considering requiring this field to post down the road after a
major "update your profile" campaign. You can now upload a profile
photo that will be auto-resized and other goodness.
If you want to post today, please update your profile with your city
by logging in here:
http://forums.e-democracy.org/login.html
Then click the "Update Your Profile" settings and add your City.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
