Admin Validation for New Accounts

[Avarí]

I'm sorry to say that it's come to this, but from now on, whenever a new account is made, an administrator is going to have to approve to account before said new user can post. While I realize this is something of a hassle for people who want to get in and start posting right away, I can think of no alternative to stop this flood of advertisers.

Almost every morning, I wake up, log into Taiar, and see some sort of ad posted on my boards. I'm sick and tired of it, and I refuse to just sit here. All I can do is delete the topic, ban the IP, and delete the member. But more keep coming, and coming, and coming.

So my solution to all this is, new members/accounts will have to have an administrator validate them before they can post. Now, I'm not going to get all persnickety about it, I promise. I can promise that probably 95% of all the names will get approved- this is just to stop those who think that putting ten thousand numbers in their name (2287667) or ad names such as "tyme2pe" from being able to post.

I'm very sorry to all the people who are honestly joining for the joy of role-playing. I can't assure you same-day validation, but I do promise to get it done as quickly as possible. I'm on Taiar every morning for ad sweeps, and I try to get on in the afternoons/evening when my homework permits me. I am more than happy to take every opportunity that I am online to help get validations done and over with so you can start posting, and I'm sure the other admins will feel the same way.

Again, I really am very sorry to have to do this to ya'll, but I've given you my reasons, and I hope you all understand them.

You crazy head admin,
Ava
