There's been an onslaught of new user registrations by spammers. Those accounts have been deleted, along with any posts. New user registration is now temporarily disabled. |

Thanks, but no worries. I figure I'd shut down registration for a short time, then open it back up though confirmation would be via my approval, then after a short while, put it back to user confirmation. Every now and then have to sabotage. ![]() Netherlands, 15th century, when the textile workers would throw their sabots into the machinery and clog up the works. |

I am a member of two forums which require administrator approval, and it was not really an issue. Thanks for keeping up the good fight, Manny. I should probably donate again, but I have just developed a cunning plan (more info to follow in a relevant thread). |

I've temporarily disabled registration in case it was being hit with a spambot. Though it looked like it was humans, mainly from Russia, Philippines, and Ukraines. I've IP blocked various blocks of IPs from Russia and Philippines, but not Ukraine since there are a couple of users here from there. Just gotta take out the trash a little more often lately ... |

New user registration now enabled, though requires admin approval after IP check. |

I know how much of a pain it is to have to manually approve all registrations. Unfortunately, there isn't a programmatic scheme available that is not crackable. Thanks for the extra, extra work, Manny. You'll know when you hear it. |
