After the last two members posted spam and porn I changed the registration so new members will have to be approved

Sounds like a good plan to me. I was just looking thru the member lists....it appears that there are a few people in here that probably won't post anything....Just a guess.... but bill, do you think there should be a timeline for people with no posts be removed from the list? Just thinking out loud.....I apologize for being away from the site a bit.....just getting a bit busy with the holidays and work....
Russians read this!!

Do to the number of people signing up with porn sites from Russia I have banned the country.
If someone from Russia would like to join and talk about bamboo they can email the webmaster (Me) to get in.

This is getting ridiculous.
I seem to be removing about two spammers a day!
I will try and change the Memberlist and newest user to only show approved members.

How does a "guest" post. I thought you had to register and as of late be approved to post?
Again, I think spammers ought to be prosecuted and thrashed with a culm. Hmmm, maybe we can sart a new thread on the use of bamboo in the judicial system...
Thanks for watching our backs Bill, I know these guys are a real pain in the a**!

Iandad,
I am always looking for sparring partners to practice "arnis". An 8 foot culm of Moso going across the trachea should be enough punishment for those spammers
.
I HATE SPAMMERS

iandad,
When I created the 'Bamboo Discussion' forum I forgot to change the default permissions.
Now you have to be logged in to post.

I've been trying to stay on top of the memberlist myself but it seems they are coming in droves lately. That is why i have been sending out emails to some new members to fill in more info about themselves like location interests and such. Is there a way Bill to make these fields a required field in order to join? It would appear if you have to fill in all the blanks then it will be easier to tell who is and who isnt a valid bambooer. Your thoughts
