Admin Validation turned off

For a few weeks, I set all newly registered accounts to be sent through me to be validated before you could post due to a large influx of spambots. That seems to be subsiding now, so I have turned it off.

I believe I let everyone in whos account looked legitimate based off my experience with spambots in the past. If I deleted you in error, I'm sorry, and you can reregister at any time. To those of you who haven't been able to post and were confused why you couldn't, now you can. I tried to get to the e-mails for validation as quickly as possible.

Hopefully I can leave this register-and-post setting on forever now. We'll see.

If you see a spam topic, report it and that will help me get to it and remove the user and topic faster.

Do spam bots get passed those visual things that you gotta type in?

Yup, it's the deal where you have to input a 6 digit numerical code shown in the image.

I discovered this forum has the feature but it was disabled. It is now enabled. Hopefully we should be saying goodbye to spambots from now on.
