New users require manual activation - withdrawn

Postby Ric » Mon Feb 05, 2007 9:49 pm

Due to the rash of trolls joining recently, I've shifted the signup of new members to "manual activation".
This means after registering, a new user cannot start posting until I manually approve their account.

I will revert back to "self activation" once I've finished installing some phpBB mods which will prevent the trolls posting any of their links.

New members, please be patient, you should get activated within 12 hours at the most.

I just deleted five trolls who tried to join last night.
I guess they'll get sick of it if they can't post any more...

It's a fake address
ChinaHostingProvider.org is just another one of his own domains.

The new spam bot protection is working very well, so I have just returned the forum back to "self-activation" mode.
