== An update from the Forums Council for February 2016 ==

=== Moderator Team Meetings ===

The third Moderator meeting was held on January 16th, 2016. In addition to the now usual Staff real-time gathering, two points were discussed : 

 * Slow Forums access. Although some work had been done and hardware changed, we still have issues. Low access leads to pages that cannot be accessed or multiple posting in threads.
 * New Ubuntu Forums Membership via Forums Contributions Guidelines which is all warm out from the oven [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Forums/Membership|here]]. The page was rewritten by [[http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=346442|Irihapeti]] and [[http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=1067998|matt_symes]], thanks for the hard work !

=== Spam ===

Forums spam accounts will be shared with canonical-sysadmins hoping this will help handle/reduce spam on the Ubuntu Wiki. This is a test ; if positive, hopefully an automated way to push SSO accounts ids to canonical-sysadmins will be implemented.
