Idon't like the idea of having to have a moderator verify accounts before making posts I've never liked it, and I suspect it drives many people away from posting here. But it's the policy we have, and it HAS done a pretty good job of keeping spam down... |

I've implemented account activation and I'm going to have to reject basically any new account that has an IP address that originates in India. Every single one of the bots has had an Indian IP address. I check the forum several times a day, every day, even if my status is not updated, so people shouldn't have to wait too long for their account to be activated. Are old accounts going to be affected? Or under probation in any way? I'm from India, and I swear I'm not a spammer... I'm a little sad that Indian fans are going to have trouble joining from now on, but I can see why it's necessary. One jackass ruining things for everyone else. |

Your profile says that you joined in april, about a month after Tom posted that message, and you didn't have any trouble signing up despite your Indian IP. So don't worry about this :-) It doesn't look like there's going to be trouble for either you or other Indian fans. |

I suppose I panicked seeing the thread. Thank you! |

People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... timey wimey... stuff... |
