New users banned before posting...
I have noticed that some of you have been checking out user profiles of people who are banned with a zero post count, so I figured I could explain that.
Whenever a new person registers here, I do a complete background check of the user name, IP address and email address prior to allowing the first post to be made.
There is a database of known forum spammers and I check against that each time a new registration is filled out.
It's just like a finger print ID, If the new registration has been banned from other forums for spamming or just being a jerk, I am certainly not going to allow them here.
After all, when someone knocks on your door, you like to know who it is before you let them into your home, so I use that same philosophy here.
If anyone has "commited forum crimes" elswhere, we don't need them here.

Re: New users banned before posting...
Glad to know you do this.
Probably one of the reasons we have such an amazing community here.

Re: New users banned before posting...
I am thinking this is a pretty full time job for Wayne. But he does keep it clean around here and is to be commended.

Re: New users banned before posting...
Even better, your saving us from ourselves! I am always curious when I see users online that I don't recognize. So, occasionally I'll check to see when their join date is and if they have posted before. Maybe they have been members for a long time, and if so I like to go back and read the older posts. (There are a lot of them, and it seems the forum deteriorated at some point)
I'm glad you use your powers for good and not evil Wayne!

Re: New users banned before posting...
I do think I freaked out a new member yesterday though... I was reading her facebook page before she finished her first post.

I second this c: I know too many people have cracked under the possession of said 'powers'... and those people I generally grew to hate over time since I'm usually a victim in their rampage. ;c
