Due to all the porn and other spam we have been getting I have chosen to moderate all new members.


To become a registered member and be able to post you must now PM me on the forums.

Spamming the forums with crap will result in an IP ban first offence after I allow you to become a member.

I think, this is worth me coming out of my quiet solitude to say.

Just wow, porn being spammed on the site? :O
I am appalled.

Not like this doesn't happen on other forums. Seems to be only happening to popular forum packages. Doesn't happen to phpbb3 yet.

Other forums use other methods for blocking spam, including paying for fancy software. I think Matt did the best thing; If anyone's really interested in becoming part of these forums - they only need put in a little extra effort by PM him. The only problem I see, if he gets swamped in PMs, which in that case, he can spread it out to all the Mods.
