Title: Change in registration procedure
Post by Forum Admin on 08/14/06 at 17:49:43

This forum has always been a free and open forum that ussers can register for and start posting immediately. Unfortunately, the "open" aspect has been changed as a result of a number of X-rated links to porn sites that were discovered (and immediately deleted) last week.

New registrants will now be required to register a login screen name and email address but wait for a password via return email before they can actually access the forum and post questions. We apologize for the inconvenience but there is a "BOT" out there hitting forums such as this one so we had to add another level of security.

I was wondering if that was the test run when I saw a few unsavory messages come in....

Too bad, but at least you have a way to filter them out.

Thanks!
