New Registration Process

[Carl Russell]

Thank you all for your patience as I have tried to manage this site to limit spammers.

Recently I added another layer to the registration process, requiring e-mail verification and moderation prior to being accepted as a registered user.

I did misread one user, and had to ban them after an inappropriate post, but so far it seems to be working. I figure I have to manage them one way or another, and some posts are just too rude, so this way I get to see all the new users before they are allowed in.

I’m sorry that a few nasty folks limit the actions of others. I want this site to be totally open to anyone, but I also feel I need to protect the sensibility of those who have joined for justified purposes.

Thank you all, Carl

Good for you Carl. One of the special things about DAP is the civil way folks interact. I think this encourages folks to ask questions without embarrassment or fear of someone making them fell, “less than.” Thanks for all your effort here.

Carl,
In my opinion you have no need to appologize. you are doing a great job here and it is very difficult to stop the bad guys from beating in the door. When you catch them at a game they change their game.
