I have added this " Due to spammers signing up to the site you will have to be authenticated, so please give as much information as possible or email the webmaster." to the registration but I don't think anyone reads that. :lol:

I have been able to identify spammers by doing a Google search for the name and the word post. it normally comes back with the posts that that person has made on other boards, also doing a search on their email address sometimes comes back with interesting information.

Yes bill i did see that .....I'll say this much from working at a school....no one reads anything anymore...lol anyway, I just deleted two new members. there websites weren't valid other than an advertisement so they get money....and i am now checking emails. if they come back as undeliverable, they get the boot. If they reply i ask them to fill out a bit more info about themselves. The notifications sent out as people join definitely makes a difference when it comes to keeping on top of "parental control thing" ....Hope you don't mind me taking this liberty but i feel if they want to they can rejoin and follow the small set of requirements. If you prefer i will run it by you first.... let me know and i will. Kurt
