1. All new registrations will have to be approved by an admin before the user can make any posts or use their profile.
2. I have gone through and cleared out a LOT of "members" that were in the system. I removed anyone with a website in their profile that didn't have any posts. I also removed anyone who hasn't signed in since before May that had 0 posts. In this cleaning there is a chance someone got removed that shouldn't have been, but due to the amount of "members" we had I couldn't check on every single one before deleting them.
I tried to keep anyone that I clearly knew was a member but some might have been removed. If you were removed I am sorry, just re-register and you will be approved within a week from re-registration.
I hope that we don't have a massive number of fake accounts cropping up in the future but if we do then there is a problem with the software that is letting them in. If that ends up being the case we will need to look at other options for the site.
Have a great day!
