There is a script that spammers run. It registers and asks for authentication. Dizmm has to authenticate the account. Since most of the recently added names are horseshit they don't get activated.

If you know someone that hasn't been activated and is legit have them review the support forum and follow instructions.

Personally I think we should update the code to include a verification script. You know one of those enter the following code thingies.

you mean like an email that sends a code, or a image that shows a hard-to-read text in it that you have to enter before you can register, cuz we already have that.

If we already have the image then good job. I haven't registered in years.

yes, and even if added more securty and verification stuff to our current registration, it will only be a matter of weeks to a month before they have another script or something that will get passed it. So who cars if our memberlists gets bigger, as long as they cant post crap it will be fine.

true, becuase you have to approve them before they can post, right??

that way, we can say the CWSCC forum has 362 registered users!! (no body has to know the last 300 of them are spammers that never posted.)
