Moderating new members for a while

[El Gordo]

Hi All -- and particularly for anyone planning on registering on the forum.

We've had an annoying spam problem recently. It's not just us. Vbulletin forums like this one, have been targetted by automated spamming campaigns since the beginning of June. For every spam message posted, I've had a dozen that haven't got through, and I'm getting fed up with it.

For a while at least, I'm going to screen all new registrants. Anyone with a normal sort of email address will be OK. The spammers use a particular group of domains that I'll prevent from joining up.

This should cause only minimal inconvenience to new joiners, and none at all to existing members.

If anything in fact, life should become better for everyone who isn't purveying porn links or dodgy pills.

Cheers

Andy
