Primarily, mc² seeks to encourage and enable online interaction between Victorian community members, e.g. via the use of Chat, Forum, Links etc. mc² was not established with the sole intention of creating an international file server. Intensive use of the file management system by some users, can impact on the quality of service we are able to provide to all users.
Consequently, to ensure the continued efficient functioning of mc2, and to preserve bandwidth and webspace for all users; mc² staff reserve the right to impose a limit on the maximum permissible file size and to remove without notice, files exceeding this limit. This is detailed in the Code of Conduct.
Files larger than this limit will be deleted after upload
To bypass the proxy, in the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser, IE 5, click on Tools > Internet options > Connections > LAN Settings. Look at the proxy settings, then select "Advanced". In the box "Do not use proxy server for addresses beginning with", enter the mc² site addresses:
mc2.vicnet.net.au
http://mc2.vicnet.net.au
For more details see the Mailing List Help page, which outlines the differences between a Web-based Forum and an email-based Mailing List.
Remember, individuals can add/remove themselves from the list by going to My Communities.
If you see a series of squares, instead of recognizeable characters, you may need to install the correct language fonts, e.g. Chinese. For Windows, this can be done either from the Microsoft Website, or from the original operating system installation CD.

If you are using Internet Explorer, you can easily change the Encoding in your browser, if necessary.
Just right click on on any page and select Encoding > Unicode (UTF-8)
You will still be a group member, but no longer receive email notification of forum postings or alerts to other new content for the community. If your group has the Mailing List feature activated, you can remove yourself from the Mailing List, by unchecking the appropriate box.
If this does not seem to remove you from the list, for any reason, or if you are no longer a member of the list you are still getting mail from, contact us.
If you break the 
Code of Conduct, you may be Unsubscribed / Removed from the Group by the Owner or Moderator. See below: Removing a Member
If people break the rules and harass anyone or are offensive, then they can be prevented from using mc2... at the bottom of every mc² page it says:
"mc2, group owners and moderators, reserve the right to remove any content deemed inappropriate and any user in breach of the Code of Conduct"
So, how do you do this? The owner or moderator can warn the offender first, by email or by 1-on-1 chat with them in the chatroom, or simply go to the "Members" section for the group, and click "Remove". This kicks them out of the group.
If you want them to be prevented from applying to enter again, you can also request that mc² staff suspend their account. This is an extreme measure, as it will then stop them from logging in or using mc² entirely, regardless of group!
If you want to stop banned members entering an mc² chatroom via the "back door" of a third party IRC client, such as mIRC, then you need to request that your chatroom be password protected, see: mIRC chat added security. This means only mc² members can enter your chatroom. mIRC users will need to know the password. They will only know it if you tell them, or if they login as a member and request it be sent to them [read onsite chat help: mIRC chat added security]. If the password becomes publically known, just request that it be changed to a new password.
