Delayed Registration

I doubt if it would help much and would just add to the hassle factor. It's easy enough to just delete the occasional spam thread such as this one.

Are Glass Bowl Fuel Pumps OE?

Any name like bozo23 is a suspect name, from my experience over at the 3A page. THey like to use the two digit thingie after theri name. Of course there are legitmate two digit deals too. like Jerry 45, but .......after a while you get a sense of who is just playing nicey to link to their junk and who is a legit jeep guy.

I thought ju to a delayed rgistration process from a metal shaping board you guys might copy if it realy gets to be a problem. st the YABB boards had this problem..

Here is the registration process from the allmetalshaper board:

"You must be a member to be involved with this site. When you register, please use some type of real name...preferably your real name. We manually approve registrations and folks who use a nonsense string of characters for their login make us assume they are spammers. Anyone who whats to change their log on name can contact one of the admins.

If you tried to register and never got the acknowledgment in your email, we probably thought you were a spammer and deleted you. Try again with a reasonable name or contact us by following the contact link.

If you haven't got your confirmation email within a few hours, email admin@allmetalshaping.com and we will complete that part of the confirmation for you. Some hosts block email servers from sites like ours. BellSouth is one that will not accept emails from us.

We started AllMetalShaping as a place for a few of us to have a dialog and share knowledge relating to metal shaping and related tools without the off topic distractions that have plagued other sites. Our original expectation was that this would just be a few friends that wanted an 'all metal shaping' forum. The growth and involvement from active members of the community has surprised and pleased us. However we want to know who we're dealing with, so We have a two-tiered membership process. Don't just do the typical registration and expect to be able to see any more than you can as a guest.

Guests and initial registered users can see the exact same thing. They can only post in the introduction forum and those posts are moderated until all four of the items in red below are done. Once you have done an intro and updated your profile and name, we will approve you for full membership and you will have full access to the site.

If you do not intend to do an introduction, you might as well not bother trying to register because as a guest you will have exactly the same capabilities as an initial registered user.

TO RECAP, YOU NEED TO DO FOUR THINGS:

1- Go to your User CP (top blue bar above this, left hand side)
2- Enter your location and other profile information
3- Put at least your first name in the signature
4- Post an introduction in the introduction forum

Your introduction is moderated and won't be seen until it is reviewed and approved by one of the admin team. If you don't get member status it's probably because you did not complete the 4 steps above. Check for a PM from an admin (under your name on the top right) telling you what you need to do. Better yet, read the directions the first time and save us all some wasted time.

You will have a week to do your intro and complete the registration. After that, your account will be removed and you can either re-register or view the partial site as a guest.

If you're a spammer rejoice in the knowledge that at the very most 4 people will see your crap before it and you are deleted and blocked. May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your crotch!

Again, people who register but do not complete the registration process within 7 days will be deleted.

The AllMetalShaping Team,

It does seem a little less friendly than we have been known to be here, however.....it will stop spam cold in its tracks.

	Russ, i think the site needs a "delayed" registration feature, where a registrant has their registration reviewed before it is activated. I offer to handle that feature.......

	I agree with sam, we just do not have that many to warrant delaying activation. Plus we all have plenty to get done as it is, I really would not want to have anyone look through, 5-10 new users every day. That would be a pain in the a$$ if you wanted a vacation! Let keep our fingers crossed it doesn't get bad, if it does then we can have another look. Russ
