Hello all!
This is my first time on this site.
I would like to tell what I really like the topic "Making beer".
I've been reading it for a while, and I have learned so much here.
So, I decided to try my luck asking a few questions...
How can you IM, PM or whatever you call it to certain members? .
I'd like to ask more questions about this project.
By the way, nice domain name http://www.homebrewandbeer.com.

Spam indeed.

Do a search on Google for "try my luck asking a few questions" (with the quote marks) and you'll see exactly the same post has been placed on hundreds of forums.

So, goodbye PolZegerully!

Cheers,

Oliver

I run a private Victorian 4wd forum for a few mates and we have set it up so each new account must be approved by Admin.

with the amount of people who sign up here that could be a bitch. poor oliver would spend half his time approving members.

His account was verified. That's always the problem, that there's human intervention in the registration process, which means you're never going to be able to completely eradicate spam, or whatever you would classify this particular message as.

As I said in another post recently, I've tightened up the registration, effectively banning a whole raft of email addresses, so we shouldn't get too much spam any more.

Hopefully.

Oliver
