I thought that was how it worked in the first place. Maybe I don't understand the mechanics of it. I'm not really interested in being all exclusive and elitist, either. How does one go about taking applications without being flooded by SPAMbots? _________________ "Morals are customs rather than natural law." --Robert A. Heinlein |

Find the plugin on the phpBB boards and Glistam will install it...

Not sure if it is spammers trying to gain access or not but I've noticed that every time I check the site today the Guest visitor number is up around 15 or 20. Either the site has suddenly become very popular and no one is registering for some reason or something fishy is going on.

Is it possible to register at this time, or are we still in a security impasse? _________________ "Morals are customs rather than natural law." --Robert A. Heinlein |

Okay, I've got two questions:
1. When I joined this site, I remember that I had to wait for my account to be activated by Glistam before I could use it. If that's still the case, why do the as-yet-unactivated-accounts show up on the board for all to see? Is that something that can be eliminated?
2. Can an account be auto-deleted if it is not used for the first time within a given period of time? Is that even a good idea? _________________ "Morals are customs rather than natural law." --Robert A. Heinlein |

Could they get interim access to a single thread? Preferably not the intro thread as that one's a bit important. How about one titled "To SPAM or not to SPAM", where we can sort out the humans from the bots and PM you a thumbs up when we find a human? _________________ "Morals are customs rather than natural law." --Robert A.

There's a new field that a new registrant needs to fill out before their account can go through. This should help cut down some spammers. I also deleted all the ones that were waiting on authorization. _________________ "I don't have dreams about the Navy. The Navy killed all of my dreams." - Buddy Lee

I'm killing the following post in "General Discussion". I don't have the power to ban people though, so I'll let you take care of them.
