Come on Stacey, I've been having the hardest time locating adult content on the internet, someone comes along and point me in the correct direction, and you ruin it for us!

Thanks for doing you job.  Being a moderator is on most MBs is a thankless job, so thanks again.

Mr PGP apparently can't read...


Thanks to the admins and their six guns.

Maybe there should be a 24 hour waiting period before signing up and first post allowed?

Yes, lots of them can't read, seems like. I guess that's the price of having a popular site Sad?

Ok, I have set it up so that an Administrator has to approve each new member.  I think Agnes, Stacey and I have gotten pretty good at spotting the email address and usernames that we don't want to approve.  This will slow down those that are legitimate, but we should be able to stop the real freaky posts now.

I'm still planning on upgrading the software to hopefully put better permission controls on this spam, but have to finish dealing with the fire mess first.

I would like to add: if you have referred someone to the site, and I'm sure many of you do that Wink, shoot me an email with the person's name and email address. That will let me know that this person is ok, and can be approved.

Thank you, Jack, for implementing this. While it will slow things down for new members, it will be much more pleasant to only have good posts to read Smiley.

Hello, I wish to add some content to your list of training centers for anyone wishing to study over here in the uk (10% of my students are from the states). Would this constitute as spam as technically I'm advertising our facilities? Most people who attend our courses agree that upholstery is type of porn for creative folk.  Grin
