As a result of the rejections I have been able to conduct research and found that many of those spam accounts registering are in fact already reported in a "Stop Forum Spam" database.

As a result forum registrations are now enabled for immediate registration and all registrations are checked against this database and flagged if they match. This should hopefully cut down on the spam accounts with no interaction from the staff. Any that do slip past can be reported to the database and aid other forum administrators in battling their own spam.

Should too many accounts get through we will once again raise the registration checks but hopefully this latest addition will stop the majority.


Good to know. just wondering how many account where spam  :? and can i get that link for the data base, so i can report them.

We deterred about 40 spam accounts in the three days the member approval system was in place. And you don't need to use the database to report them, icy... Any spam accounts that slip through, report them to staff here, and the staff will add them to the database.

There's not much to be worried about. We're often very good about removing spam quickly.

That is kind of my job, to keep everything running smoothly. Heavily under-appreciated and rarely understood but my job nonetheless.
