Re: Ban all gmail "multiple dot" users

You can ask a question about something in the logo. You can ask for a word somewhere on a page, like the first word of the first forum etc. Those kinds of questions need some understanding and logic of how to work out the answer. AI is not so good at those.

Re: need some group permissions help please

You don't need to add in permissions to view and post. They'll get those from the registered users group that they're already in (and will stay in).
