Re: Who let all this riff raff into the room?
When I had the Shadow Machine, I figured I'd sign up with the Hydra forum for support. It took over a month of practically begging the admin to approve my account. It's no wonder that they didn't like dealing with new accounts; they got around 30 per day from all over the world.
As for making this a pay site: I pitched in annually, and I didn't mind at all - the returns in the knowledge and parts availability alone were worth it. For a privately run site to not be swimming in advertisements, it's not a lot to ask! The question that stands, though, is whether this would solve this problem?

Re: Who let all this riff raff into the room?
This is a much bigger problem for this forum than the spam. (Post 7)

Re: Get Mulberry Purses Located At Purchase Prices
I am still seeing a lot of spam people registering on the forum. Did the mods add a captcha or something to the registration process?

Re: Who let all this riff raff into the room?
I just checked and there are 525 new people/spam/etc. It is an overwhelming task to go through them and weed out the junk. We need to figure out something.

Re: Who let all this riff raff into the room?
We are in the process of figuring out something. I don't want to say much for obvious reasons, but the problem will be sorted and as soon as possible.
Thanks for your patience and for notifying us of the problem. Joe

Re: Who let all this riff raff into the room?
Can you guys do something like this
This is my online banking system, I put my username, then my password I literally type on an Electronic keyboard using the mouse. I don't think spam bots can register as such.

Quote:
The Camry people are using a newer version of the software than we are. Theirs is 3.8.7, ours is 3.6.8. If the changes we are making do not do the business then we may be forced to change to newer software. This will probably cost money, but hopefully we may not need to go to that trouble. Joe PS: New applications for membership are temporarily suspended until we have purged the rubbish and strengthened the system. Hopefully back to normal in a day or two.

I just sent you and Earl a PM about an owner who is having trouble getting registered. For future reference who all is able to go in and approve new members?

Re: Who let all this riff raff into the room?
I fixed his problem. If he still can't log in, let me know.
We are going to get the new software installed in the very near future. It should have some additional safe guards in it.

Re: Who let all this riff raff into the room?
Thanks Earl
I'll contact you tonight about clearing some of the backlog. It's not easy or sometimes impossible to see what applicants are genuine and which ones are spammers. Hence we need a response from applicants before we can approve them. When that's in place we should have a lot less problems and delays. Apologies to any people held up in the queue. Joe
