The admin tells me that there continues to be lots of spam account requests through the normal channel and so the extra step involving the email continues to be necessary. Currently there are about 3000 spam account requests per month, which is considerably less than it used to be, but still way too much to deal with on a case by case basis. None the less, many people have told me that they tried to set up an account. I try to explain to them that there is an extra step, but that seems to do nothing other than confuse them.

Spam account requests continue to be an issue. Thousands of such requests have been deleted during the past month with no relief in sight. So the extra step will continue to be necessary.

HEAVY PETTING ZOO: Just saw this. OMG! How funny and soooooooo politically correct. We had a better sense of humor a couple decades ago. Now everything is offensive to someone. The special snowflakes have spoiled everything for everyone!

panamint_patty: Now the snowflakes are the prudes. It used to be the strict Bible-believing religious people. I think the religious prudes are still around, but it's the SJW prudes who do most of the complaining as of late. It's got a lot of people confused how society has almost turned upside down in some ways. Anyone with a narrow-minded, dogmatic world view tends to be that way. It used to be conservatives who were seen as narrow-minded, now they have become the free thinkers who defend freedom of speech. SJW liberals are actually worse than conservatives were when conservatives were the uptight dimwits taking offense at just about anything.

People told me it was impossible to sign up for this message board. All I did was follow the instructions and the instructions are not that difficult to locate...
assuming you're not a moron!

pdm: We are of the opinion that it is not difficult to sign up. We hear about people having difficulty from time to time, but the constant deluge of bots attempting to set up accounts requires an extra step and many people fail to notice the directions at the beginning of this thread. Frankly, we're a little surprised that bots haven't caught on since it should be possible for them to scan through and spot that message.
