Hello everybody,
We have activated delayed activation of accounts by email verification. Also new users will need to get their first posts approved by an admin or moderator. This step was necessary to prevent further manual spam account registrations.
If you have trouble registering please send an email to the address you can find on the registration page.

Hey Wolf
What the hell is manual spam account registrations? Manual suggests an individual spamming? Is this true?

I've not received an e-mail. Should I be expecting one?

It means the account is created manually. The spamming would happen later automatically.
I checked the logs, it all looked like a manual registration. Bot registration is unlikely, but of course cannot be ruled out entirely. Either way, with the 2 new checks in place we should be spam-free for a little longer now.

No, this is for new registrations only. Unless you want one.
You don't plan to spam, do you?
