Hi guys
By way of an explanation, I have recently had a run in with the VMD the vets governing body, for the most part it was about the chemical factory with generic chemicals being sold on a koi web site. That’s part was easy dealt with, I will simply move to the chemicals new domain www.chemicalfactory.co.uk end of story , but not quite.
But what truly shocked me was the amount of evidence they had gleaned from our FORUM!!
They had direct quotes off threads, recommended dose rates and recommended treatments. it clearly demonstrated to me they are looking at forums!!! And forums will become a target for the future
With that I came home and straight away restricted access to content for non members and web search engine Bots. , Bot’s can trawl sites and publish web content even if that site Is restricted, the koi ultra zone has always been “BOT no access” but that applies now to other restricted section.
I did not really want to do this but I think it’s best for us as a body of hobbyists
So you safe in the knowledge all new members will be vetted really well before admittance and Bots can’t trawl any content
Like I say they are now amongst us so let’s put the guards up
