Less than .001% of the thousand SPAM trollers a day get through registration to post here. They may show up as 'registration pending' but are deleted/banned at the next review. This months update will have a positive effective on screening where you won't see as many. Again, we are fortunate to have very, very few spam messages hit the boards thanks to the great moderators.

Yes, they are doing a most excellent job. I've been here 2+ years with 2K+ posts and have never seen a spam post.

I reject them all, but I don't know how to stop them from applying for membership except to ban certain IP's, and I don't know how to do that. But some of the names you wrote above look awfully familiar.
Old Pros? It dropped me a few years ago, so I thought it dead, dead, dead.

I have a friend who turned me on to this site, who has yet to be able to join.
He's tried a few times and I tried once for him. Every time he got canned.
His username is "illmaterial", and I told him that the name might have set off some red flags. Sooooo...If you guys could do anything for him, I'd be grateful since I'm hanging out here without him. Thanx.
