Description Krum Tsvetkov

Hi,

Memory Analyzer moved last year from Technology to Tools. As part of the moved our old forum was "frozen" and we got a new one. No further posts were possible in the "old" forum. Surprisingly I saw recently again a new message in the old forum.

These are the details about the old forum:
Name: Memory Analyzer (MAT)
http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/f/62/
news://news.eclipse.org/eclipse.technology.memory-analyzer

The message that was recently posted is:
http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/222115/

Can you please have a look? Can you block again the posting in the old forum?

Thanks in advance!

Krum

I moved the MAT forum to the "Archived" section and set it to require a password to post. Webmasters, can you do anything to prevent posting via NNTP?

I've added a ! to the group in the news server config and reloaded things.  Combined with Erics work that should do it.
