#suggestion
Currently, if you try to join a closed chat via the message (notification) that the chat was opened, you are taken to the list of open chats. This will be confusing for many people. I think a note

Re: Spam/bogus join requests
I eliminated SPAM and bogus signups from my Forums and CRM sites by using ZBBLOCK (http://spambotsecurity.com/zbblock.php) Maybe Mark could look at implementing some elements of this?

Re: Photos and files
From our group's perspective, we would prefer to keep things the way they are. We like the Photos section with its ability to sort photos into Albums - and we use the Files section very little.
