Is the "subsribers only" policy now established? 
(lets hope that, i do agree with that)

And the non-subscriber settings tuned to a 
"notification about adminitrator decisison" policy?
(that would not be a friendly act even to non-subscriber)

/me really wonders why the sourceforge servers 
do not allow for SPAM filtering software since
its really a big problem for the full service.
