The importance of name choice for new members

[SeaDawg]

Hello, Potential New Members,

We love adding new members, and hearing new ideas.

However, we have had an enormous number of sp @ mmers who have tried to join our forum over the last several months, and we have had to resort to individualized approval before you can be allowed to post.

 

If you are, indeed, a real person, you can gain membership much more readily by choosing a "real" name... something easily recognizable, in English, as a name, nickname, or "handle". If you choose an obscure combination of random vowels and consonants, with, perhaps a number, your application will in all likelihood, be deleted.

 

Why? Because all our moderators are volunteers (read, unpaid), and we just don't have time to figure out if a weird combination of vowels and consonants is a person. Seriously.

 

No offense. We'd love to have you come and hang out, and have some fun, but we also like to think that you are here to do that, and not spread sp @ m.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Sherry
