New members now need authenticating

Post by Cam »

In an effort to prevent SPAM, we have now changed the messageboard so that new members have to be authenticated. This is more work for the admin/moderating team and newly registered members will have to wait until they have been authenticated, but hopefully this is a step in the right direction to prevent the bombardment of recent days.

Thank you. :D

Certainly a step in the right direction.
Anyone wanting to disrupt the site will now have to waste allot more of their time before they can do so, maybe they'll get bored and go away looking for easier prey, we can but hope............

Is the authentication process something that can be carried out by the Club's paid admin officials or, indeed, pay an interested person to do so? It would seem a good investment for the MMOC money
