We have been absolutely hammered by "fake" registrations over the past two weeks, to the point that I wasn't able to manually delete them. I'm afraid I had to resort to some drastic measures, and so anyone who had applied for forum membership prior to September 6th, and who hadn't gotten confirmation of their membership was zapped.:eek:
I'm sorry, but it would have taken me literally hours and hours to get through a manual sort of the users awaiting confirmation. :mad: There were 180 users who gave incorrect answers to the "sailing question". But unfortunately there's no way to delete them en-masse. So I did what I could.
Once that drastic measure was done, the obvious "baddies" were down to 29 and I just blasted them manually.
I will open up the forum to new applications in a couple of weeks. It's pretty slow right now, so I don't think we're being too nasty to anybody.
