Every new registration request is manually processed by me or one of the other admins. We're working hard to prevent spam accounts from being allowed to register and we're quick to ban users who spam -- I banned alfredm123's account permanently this morning. By the way, we really pay attention to message notifications, so please don't hesitate to press the Notify link at the bottom of a post if you think we need to look at it.

It would be nice if the forum software would allow us to truly moderate the first, say, five posts from a new user -- to approve or deny an individual post before it hits the board. We cannot do that, unfortunately.

Other than setting up an entrance application with an essay question I'm at a loss as to how we can do better with the tools we have. If you have suggestions or constructive criticism, please share it in this thread or PM me.
