HOLY FREAKING SPAM!!! New members require Admin approval, temporarily.

[aarontunes]

SPAM is out of control at the moment.


We have made the decision to require manual Admin approval for new user accounts. This is a temporary move until this round of SPAM stops.


Sorry for the inconvenience.

There's nothing wrong with that. I have signed up on several forums in the past that were set up that way. I think it's a good move.

Rock on with your bad self, The Aaron - It's necessary, so do it.

Agreed, for the same reason.

Ditto, +, I seem to recall addressing this topic a few months back for this very reason.

It totally doesn't bother those of us who already have accounts...

I like that, gonna have to use it sometime. Please don't send me a "Big G" letter!  :icon_jokercolor:

OK....we've found a solution that seems to be working, and new membership requests are being handled automatically again. If the SPAM returns, we'll take further steps at that time.

 

[AirCap]

Yeah, we chased him over to the Seymour Duncan forum.... This morning someone posted about 20 spam messes....

Well, barring unforseen circumstances, it appears I'm back on duty. Finally back home on a real machine again, so I'll be able to help keep the wolves at bay.

Good. It was crazy for a while, there. Now the only craziness is us. :icon_biggrin:
