Post Approval for Newly Created Accounts

Unread post by Ghost »

NOTE: THIS INFO IS OUT OF DATE. THE FORUM IS NOW OPEN AGAIN.

apologies for the inconvenience, but it is a necessary measure needed that will ensure the community is kept safe and will generally not affect the community at large.
Sadly I agree that it has to come to this. It's really unfortunate. I worked hard, and so did others, to try and avoid this. I hope this doesn't deter any legit suffering people wanting to join the forum, and I will do my best to make their transition into the forum painless.

That being said, I will have no tolerance for being messed with by this problematic member. That's just a personal warning from me to him. He'll have to play by the rules. I have previously allowed some actions and accounts to slide, but this doesn't make me ignorant of them, or ok with them. I will not be doing this anymore. I am disappointed in things turning out this way.

It's too bad it ended up like that. I think you made good choice for moderator though. I have given Ghost full moderator status globally, which means access to all mod tools and he can now ban people.

By the way, you two are doing an amazing job. Thanks for all your help. And thank you, Moloch, for hosting this.

There has been some shit going down recently. I'm not going to be playing any games. Remember that linking any products to this site or to a PM is not allowed. I'm losing patience fast.
