Every new member, after activating their membership, either has to wait for me or Bryan to give them posting rights. I can see it now: someone named "axghjtyea" or "girlnudefreebj" has just confirmed his/her/its membership... should I grant him/her/it posting rights? Hahaha, yeah, right after I stick my heavy-duty combat boots up his/her/its @ss

This is how Dan runs his Max Stim board, isn't it? Good stuff!</div>
You mean Dan routinely sticks his combat boots up a joker's @$$? Wow, I always thought he was a peaceful guy... just goes to show, when you think you know someone....

Ideally, we shouldn't have to do this. I personally hate it when I go to register to a board and then have to confirm it AND also wait for an admin to find time to actually allow me to join the board. It's a pain. That's why HST was one of the best forums for me... completely hassle free. Unfortunately, when it is abused, we have no choice

If I was a liberal, I'd probably be all uptight and stuff... :)H</div>
Hahaha, well, I'm actually thorough about it.

When someone goes through step 1, that means the email is legit. So less problem for me. Then I go to examine the user profile... stuff like messenger info (msn, yahoo, IRC) and the homepage (does it sell porn or cialis or illegal substances or whatever). If things check out fine, I approve the registration and the member can start to happily post in our fantastic board ^__^
 
I have to thank Bryan and all of you guys for making this a board that is worth working hard for. ^__^

This spamming issue was certainly blotting our site with utter nonsense

Keep up the good work.

I'll alert you if I find anything else as I always did! Cheers
