Occasionally we get a complaint, sometimes quite vicious, about the forum refusing to accept their registration as a new member because they are spammers.

We apologize to those people and attempt to do our best to get them registered. After all, we thrive on new members.

We thought you should know about the spammers we do automatically block from posting here. They try to log in with names like cashonline, nudepicss (about 30 times), niceguyforuxzcv, freecamseeker and Buy Viagra.

Our filtering software evaluates each potential registration and blocks those likely to be spammers.

Since June 1, for example, the software has blocked about 500 of those scum who would post the most preposterous offers.

We explain this only so you would know why some people's attempts to register are blocked.
