Jay Kae Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Due to the fact that this week we had two spammers on the forums who actually got around the anti-bot protection by actually being human beings filling things out, I have hightened security a notch again, any suspect account will now be by administrator approval (read: John and myself ) only. I apologise in advance if this slows down user registrations for some people with email accounts of the likes of gmail and hotmail but it is a necessary step because if there is two things I hate on forums it is a) Spammers Google AdWords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John M Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Happening @ Digital by as you say HUMAN accounts,it's a real problem Jay.Congrats on the fight you put up.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milamber Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Very Happy with that Jay. This forum has been one of the best from this standpoint and it is good to know that when "smaller people" are looking over "grandad's shoulder" all potential "safety measures" are in place. Cheers.

Jay Kae Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share Posted September 11, 2009 Thanks guys, unfortunately we are getting to that dangerous and labour-intensive 'admin has to approve every account' stage faster and faster now, but we'll see what happens.

virginpilot1 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 yep as everyone else has said couldnt agree more xD Speaking of hotmail, Iv got a little issue. Mmm how to put this simply. Basically Iv got two accounts on these forums under Virginpilot1 and qantaspilot1. Now i created qantaspilot first and forgot the password and the 'forgot pw' app wasnt working and still doesnt (for that account) so i created a new account. However in doing that my 'good' email was linked to qantaspilot so as a result my 'non checked' hotmail is unfortunatly linked to this account. Anyway so my question is Jay would you mind deleting the old account? Or even the email within the qantaspilot1 account as I cant get into it?? Sorry to be a pain Thanks.
