mushrat Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Due to the massive bot/spam account registration issues, I am trying something new. Every member must make atleast 1 post to keep your account active. I have changed the Intro section so posts there now count in your post count. We'll see how this works at reducing the astounding number of BS accounts we keep getting.If you have 0 posts you need to make a post to prove you are not a spammer. if you have an account with at least 1 post you are safe.

Making a new account after yours has been deleted seems to trigger a perma ban although maybe it's done by hand. I'm not sure. If you have account issues, get an email to Mushrat and get it straightened out.'Rani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
