Decision # 1
The ranking based on the number of posts will be removed!
Why? Because many members seem to post just to increase their number of posts or to receive a higher ranking. Too many senseless posts, spam and nonsense has been posted. Also this ranking gave a false idea on how experienced a member is, for example a newborn pup can be more experienced than a gerbil god! These rankings doesn't say anything about that. Also these posts pollute the "10 most recent posts" funtion.

Decision # 2Creation of a Games Board (Slow Chat subboard)For more information: NEW: Games Board. Why? Because several members requested such a board. This way other boards will not be polluted with such content. Posts in this board do not count toward post counts! However, this new board will be kept under review. When many users want it to be removed we still might consider to delete the board eventually. If not, we will keep the board. For any complaints or comments, you can contact one of the staff members.

Decision # 3
Limiting the number of boards
Why? Because less boards will be more easy to manage for us moderators. For example the adoption section has been removed, because it sends the message that gerbils are to be used to make money. The other gerbils species boards have been limited to just one. More changes will probably appear in the near future.

Decision # 5
Gerbil FAQ
Why? Because with such a board everyone can find the critical information they need for gerbil care. It can be seen as a sort of standard for gerbil ethics and welfare. Do you feel that something is missing or wrong in the Gerbil FAQ? Feel free to contact one of the staff members.

Decision # 6
Limit Guest function
Why? Because with the guest function limited we should have less spam. It's not hard to create an account, and it's free. We created a guest board though for the emergency, and for the few people who insist on not registering.
