Registration Tips

 

Seventy to eighty percent of the registrations attempted are from bots or spammers, who are attempting to place a link on our site. If they get approved they immediately start posting topics and/or links, which are normally to porn sites, drug sales, dating services, and so on. Once they get started they are relentless, posting links faster than we can delete them. Unfortunately it's difficult to determine if a new registration is from an actual person, or from a bot or spammer. The only thing we have going for us is that the spammers are not very creative. They normally register using common names, a mixture of common words or names, or jumbled text and numbers. As such these types of USER NAMES are usually ignored, meaning they are not approved or activated until you contact the forum administrator requesting approval. The best way around this is to select a USER NAME which refers to your vehicle, the motor, or at least something automotive. For example, 82F100, 64Falcon, 66InlineSix, Turbo250, and so on.

If you are an actual person using a common or unusual USER NAME, your account will not be approved until you request activation, which is done by e-mailing the Administrator (see below). The easiest way to do this is to forward your "confirmation" email with a short sentence attached. For example, "Please activate my account". The "confirmation" email is automatically sent to you when once you have completed the registration process.

When a new member registers, an e-mail is also sent to the Administrator for approval. While we do our best to approve them daily, sometimes it just isn't possible. We might be on a business trip or taking a vacation, down with an illness, or out in the shop, who knows..... As such, it may take several days to activate your account. However if it's been more than a week, we recommend that you contact the forum Administrator, to request activation. Again....the easiest way to do this is to forward the "confirmation" email, which was sent when you completed the registration process.

Whenever you contact the Administrator, make sure you include your USER NAME. Unfortunately we're not very good at guessing...... If the User Name is not included, your e-mail may be ignored and/or deleted.

Make sure you read, and abide by, the forum RULES & REGULATIONS, that is if you wish to avoid temporary suspensions or being ban from the forum.

Note: Your USER NAME and PASSWORD must be at least 6 characters (letters or numbers) long, but no more than 24 characters. Passwords must also contain mixed case (AaBbCc), using at least one upper case letter. Avoid user names that are sexual in nature or offensive, as they will not be approved.

Please take a few minutes to read our "Rules & Regulations", including those for "Image Posting". When you finish, or if you've already read them, please click here to go directly to the forum index.
