Good Stuff
So now you have to activate all new members! That could be cool....They don't come in that fast anyways......
I don't think that will deter the ones that really want in, do you?????
I think that will deter most bots and bone heads.........Jim

You'll probably find that the amount of requests will drop off rapidly too, once the spamming fucktards realise their automated signup bots can't get in they should remove us from their lists, which just leaves the new ones that discover us.
Well done, anyway; I hope this reduces your workload.

Please continue applying spam reducing mods to the forum, like captcha & question/text captcha etc. trust me, having a spammer realise the only thing they can do is add new members isnt a good thing ;)
A forum we hosted for someone had around 200,000 signups in under a day from multiple places around the world. This could very easily have been 2,000,000. Either way it made a mess of the user approval mailbox.

Mike:
It seems that I am not able to post photo's to the forum if I am running ICQ! The forum closes the link and request I log back in..
That may have been the problem with the links I tried to access!!!
When I disable The ICQ, Problems go's away........I am on a Toshiba 105 lap top and dial up! Band width may be the problem...Or could be ICQ that I just signed up with to talk to my old friend in England...

spammer ejection
HI Administrators,
Can You go to the memberlist and eliminate all of the idiots with "0" posts.
There are pages and pages of these " members " who obviously have nothing to contribute to the forum !!!!!!
