Moderated membership to the forum

[ROllerton]

Starting today, new memberships to the Taylorcraft Forum will need to be reviewed and approved before the new member will be able to post anything. This process can take up to a week depending on my work load. Tucker and I are the final decision makers.
Tucker has been known to take bribes.

There have been a high number of bogus and suspect member signups in the past 2 weeks leading up to the posting of pornographic photos. There are now some automatic protections in placel.

If your buddies tell you that they can't get approved, tell them they need to do a better job filling out the application. Incomplete or misleading information will give me reason to reject them. Also some email providers block the receipt of our confirming emails (hotmail seems to be the worst of them).

I want to also remind you all to keep your profile updated and complete. If I suspect you are a spammer and your profile is bogus looking, your email is wrong, then your membership will be deleted if I happen to be in a crappy mood.

I dont like to do this, I have enough to do already. I want to keep this place comfortable for everyone, including teenagers interested in Taylorcraft.

I think spammers should be hunted with packs of big dogs and heavy kicking rifles. So anything that frustrates them saves me the expense of a hunting license. Thanks and with regards; Ed OBrien.

Re: Moderated membership to the forum

I have to admit that seeing all those photos of naked Taylorcrafts... with just part of the covering on and making you wonder what was underneath... made me get a little hot and bothered. Please don't take off the pictures of naked Taylorcrafts... I just need a few more minutes

Bob, thanks again for all you are doing. For a computer challenged oldster, it is quite easy to use, and certainly fun to read every day.

I am sorry Eric, and I did not save it either. I think its likely they will slip another one in though as they have been trying 2 or 3 times a day so keep your eyes open.

This last one was complete in every way, but not unique as this stuff goes. It was well formatted and the "designer" spent quite a bit of time making sure all the photos were linked to their porn site. Nice color correction too, but a bit to orange for my taste.

I used to manage a network abuse and fraud team for a very large Internet company and I have pretty much seen it all and the subponeas that follow. Nothing like coming back from Friday lunch and be meet in the lobby by the Constable (reasonable) or the FBI man (unreasonable).
