this was sent to me as a private message and I added MichealTracy to my ignored list which removed this from my inbox

There are some sites that have restricted the use of yahoo/gmail/hotmail etc type email address to sign up with.

They only accept valid ISP (?) email addresses..... like mine would me _____@shaw.ca - shaw being my ISP

Now how well this works i do not know... we do not have a problem with spammers over at Rock's forum because we manually verify anyone that signs up - yes sometimes it seems we are spending all day verifying new people.. but to us it is worth it to protect our members from these idiots.

But it might be something to think about.

It is not like this site is "unsafe" to sign up to.... cause some people might have a problem using their "real" email addy.... but hey... if it stops these idiots.... it might be worth it... cause eventually someone is going to get a virus from one of these idiots..... if they haven;t already!!!!!!!!!!!!

One more thing......... WHY can guests see members profiles?????? They should not be able to see members profiles IMO......
