NEW MEMBER REGISTRATION REQUIREMENT

Due to forceful marketeers, this administration has had to take extreme measures to avoid human and computer generated spam that attack forum boards worldwide (aka. Forum Spam).

In the past month we have observed a high number of new member registrations from foreign ISP's from Russia, Denmark, Germany, UK, Israel, British Islands, EU, etc..., and have had to delete messages and accounts their computers create (post) that do not pertain to topics related in this forum.

Their agenda is to create as many new members as possible on forum boards across the bounds of the internet to "display and sale" products of all kinds. However, this administration is not interested in having this site overrun with their forced marketing maneuvers. For instance, in just 2 months time computer generated spam has the ability to run a board of 115 members up to 5000 members or more. As they establish their members they begin to post excessive (enormous) amounts of non-topic related content and can quickly consume a board with their own agenda.

This is unacceptable behavior by humans hiding behind computers that will not be tolerated on this site, therefore we have taken corrective steps to forego automated account registration, and instead, manually administer and activate each new member registration.

Due to their schemes we are getting an enormous amounts of requests for membership. Therefore we are verifying all valid existing members, and are taking steps to avoid foreign spam by requiring all REAL new members to E-MAIL administration after REGISTERING A NEW ACCOUNT at adhddrugdanger@yahoo.com to activate their newly registered account.

The prospective new member MUST submit a one or two sentence paragraph detailing who they are and why they want to join the board. This will assist ADMIN1 in the recognition of REAL members vs. COMPUTER GENERATED members, for computers do not have the ability to do this with human authenticity. You may be asked pertinent questions that you will need to respond to in order to gain the privilege of account membership.

We regret to have to take these kinds of measures, but we feel that any 'prospective new member' who could add value to this forum long term, would typically be a person willing to provide their identity (first/last name), locale, and reasons for membership. All information is private and confidential and member information is never at risk.

Guests will no longer have the ability to read information in forum topics on the site without registration. In addition, as we audit our existing registrants, true members may be mistaken for fakes and accounts may be deleted in error.

If at anytime you have trouble accessing the forum, or if you do not receive a return e-mail regarding account activation within 24-48 hours; please do not hesitate to resubmit your e-mail request to ADMIN1 a 2nd time, for it may have been overlooked or deleted by accident.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding in this matter. Our goal is to provide a safe board to all members with topics related to the goals of this board for all registered members and guests.

Sincerely,
ADMIN1 - adhddrugdanger@yahoo.com
