Due to the excessive spamming of ads over the past few months, I have altered the ability to post on the forum. To do this, I have had to add a new Moderator to be able to review any posts by members who have had less than 5 posts. Those member's posts will go into an inbox, and will have to be approved by the Moderator before they are posted on the forum. This will not affect any present member who has posted more than 5 times in the past, and will prevent all of the spammers from posting their ads on the site.

Post Script:
To the spammer who has been posting all the ads...this is the big 'boot' I told you that I was going to use to kick your butt off the forum.
Now none of your ads will ever be viewed by anyone except the Moderator, and then you will be banned as usual. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

byee byee !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you have posted more than 5 posts in the past, then your new posts are not monitored at all. Your posts will appear immediately on the forum as they always have.

The addition of a Moderator does not affect any present member's ability to post reponses or start new topics. None of those posts are monitored, and will never reach my inbox. Only new members, or those who have fewer than 5 posts in the past, will be monitored, and their posts will first have to be approved before they appear on the forum. Then after that new member has had 5 posts approved for publication, then they will no longer require monitoring either, and their posts will immediately show up on the forum when they submit them.

I have already banned several spammers whose only purpose was to fill the forum with ads for their products. Apparantly, those spammers were posting more than 50 ads per day that all needed to be deleted from the forum, and then those members were banned, but they were joining the forum under several usernames/email addresses/IP addresses per day, and were determined to keep posting their ads. Now they will no longer be able to do that, and the readers of this forum won't have to be bothered with those ads....many of which were for porn sites.

Advance Merry Christmas to all!! :D
