This week, many accounts have been deleted by accident from the ProM forum.

Due to an excessive amount of bogus accounts, we decided a while back that new subscribers were to be treated as applicants, rather than as immediately as members. However, this only shifted the problem, as we now had an excessive amount of applicants. For this reason, new subscribers now need to be invited by an administrator (that would be me). In the process of removing all the bogus applicants, accounts of members have been deleted by accident. We did not realize (in time) that members were still listed as applicants, and that by rejecting an applicant one deletes the associated member as well :-(. So, as a result of rejecting pending applicants, accounts of members were deleted. Sorry for that, won't happen again.

Former members can send me an e-mail (h DOT m DOT w DOT verbeek AT tue DOT nl) asking for an invitation. Also, if you would like to join the forum, please send me an e-mail asking for an invitation.
