Too all of our regular participating members:
Due to matters beyond our control, we have been experiencing a plethora of profile spammers ... they register, then load up every possible profile field with spam, spam links, and general promotional advertising, log off, and never return. They don't appear in the Member Directory because they haven't yet made at least two posts.
They, of course, never post and probably have no intention of doing so, since we would readily see that and wipe the post and ban them on the spot.
To combat this issue, we have TEMPORARILY turned off the access to adding/editing members profiles until we are able to put into place other controls. We are working on a resolve and hope to restore access to your profiles soon.
In the meantime, if our regular participating membership needs to have anything edited within their profile, please contact one of the staff members, and we will be able to do that manually.
Notice to all spammers:
If you are one of the profile spammers reading this, you can tell all your buddies
that they are wasting their time even registering here. The Admin/Mod Team has access to a special database where spammers are 'blacklisted' ... if any part of your registration information is on that list, you will be banned straightaway without question and/or any warnings.
