This forum seems to have attracted the attention of some bots and spammers. As such, I'm disabling automatic forum registration via email confirmation. Going forward, new forum accounts must first be approved (by me) before they become active. Considering that this is relatively small forum (with a limited number of users), I expect the volume of legit approval requests to be low (thus manageable), but what this will also mean is that new users will experience a day or so delay before they can post and participate in forum discussions. Sorry about the inconvenience, but unfortunately the internet bad guys have made this necessary.
Also, if anyone notices any posts in the forums that they suspect is the work of spammers or bots, please flag it so that I can remove the posts and/or ban the spam account.
Thanks,
hungryghost
UPDATE:
I've made some changes and adjusted the forum registration, which should help prevent bots/spammers. Automatic forum registration is enabled again.
