Title: New member accounts require admin approval
Post by: datahell on January 05, 2012, 17:24:08

For some time new members registration will be approved manually by a forum administrator before they become active.
We are sorry for this but it is required in order to reduce spam accounts on the forum.

Registration is set back to member account activation. So no admin approval is required.
Note that some free email providers such as gmail and hotmail from now on have a high SPAM score and their owners are considered as possible spammers.

I think that was the right decision. By the time we published the last message above at least 4 new spammers have created - posted a new account - message.

Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail emails are not accepted any more for account registration.
Gmail is the biggest spam email, sorry google...
