I hate being forced to take such measures, but until someone puts an end to spammers, this is what we must do to protect ourselves. Hopefully the forum will now remain spam-free!

06/08/2007: Fighting Spammers - New User Authentication
In an ongoing effort to combat spam and inappropriate content, the forum now uses a new method of user authentication. When a new user signs up and makes their first post, this post will not be visible to the rest of the forum community right away. A message will be sent to the Administrator (me) and shortly thereafter the new user will be approved or denied. Once the new user is approved, he / she will be able to post normally and all earlier posts will become visible.
