We've recently installed a modification that runs new members through a spammer database and keeps them from posting until an administrator approves them. So far it's done a fantastic job at keeping the weirdos out of here. You'd be amazed at how many there are; sometimes several a day that try to sign up.
But like anything of that nature, it isn't perfect. It has flagged a few new members and a couple of existing members as spammers, when there are not. Reasons--an IP that was previously used by a spammer, a screen name or e-mail address that is similar to ones in the spammer database, etc.
If you run into problems logging in or posting, don't worry because you're not banned. We haven't banned anyone here except spammers. Please shoot us an e-mail at the addy in the "Contact Us" section above and we'll fix the problem.
Thanks, we're glad you're on The Hwy with us. :hug
