Registration

Hi all,

I find it ok that the Admin has to see over accounts so that spammers are kept at bay however I never received a "your account is now active email"

maybe it could help?

I'll do some testing on that.

EDIT:
Yep, doesn't work.
I guess we'll have to do it manually from now on.

Shouldn't be a problem. We're getting about 2 or 3 new legit users per month.

Thanks for the heads-up, Matt.

the dodgy sign up is increasing annoyingly. I am looking at a new type what you see security thingy which looks promising. I will also attempt to sort out the email thingy.

I've just spotted the newest registered member, and something tells me it's spam :lol:

Well spotted, thanks.

As it happens, an inactive account is still shown in the members list. I've only just spotted that.

I've deleted the account but they couldn't post anyway. I noticed another member from a few weeks ago who was inactive but was also in the members list. They were spam too.

I don't look at new user registrations much any more. Tom deals with them.

The new spammer is obviously a sock puppet of Bradavon, he can't spell to save his life.

I am happy to rise above your constant comments about my spelling as I know my spelling is decent, not perfect but much better than some on this forum.

Pick on them instead.
