ZFF registration change

[HelenaZF]

All that I just said above?



Forget it. It is just too much work to investigate registrations to sort out real people from spammers. I would rather do other things with my time. So, no more admin validation.



We are returning to the email validaton system, only this time, I have created a SpamBot Pen that will corral all spammers who manage to validate their registration in a member group that cannot post on the board. You won't even see them in the member list. They will be trapped there forever!



New members who are real people can get out of the SpamBot Pen by making one post in a designated topic. It will be a very simple thing to do, because there will only be one topic there. And, if any spambots manage to get through that, I have one more trick up my sleeve....
