Note to all prospective members

Your forum registration will not be approved if you have a user name like "penisproducts" or "freeporn".

Spammers aren't real bright because most of them don't even try to disguise themselves as legitimate.

And you know what that means, don't you?

That's right - the people who fall for their scams are even less bright.

Shoot, Vrai.. you shouldn't have told them! Let them try to use those names so you can delete them! Now they'll use acceptable names and post their wares anyway!

Nah - I do an IP check on everyone. If they're coming from a foreign country or some unsecured spammer ISP, I don't approve them. Occasionally one slips by me, but not very often. Especially considering that I disapprove a good 30 of them each day, and there's at least another 30 or 40 that don't even pass the email confirmation process.

Gee, your job sure must be fun! I bet you could come up with a winner of a list for "most interesting email addresses"!!
