[SgFreecycle] ADMIN: Changes to SgFreecycle

 

Folks, in the last few weeks, I've written to the group a few times about the fact that Singapore Freecycle is migrating to my.freecycle.org. Instructions on how to join freecycle.org are below.


In preparation for the move, and in line with the policies of the new system, the following changes are being made with immediate effect:
 - WANTED posts will no longer be approved only once per day; they will be approved throughout the day as they come in
 - most members' posts will no longer be moderated; only new members' posts will be moderated. This means your post will typically be publicly distributed very shortly after you post it. This does NOT apply to new members, whose posts must still be manually approved (as most spammers are "new")

The yahoo group WILL be closed down in the coming weeks. PLEASE sign up at my.freecycle.org TODAY. Most of the current moderator team will transition over to the new site too, joining the moderator team that is already working on the new site.

We look forward to seeing you on the new site.

Regards,

- Moderator Team.
