New user approvals

[admin]

There were 100s of new users in the "awaiting approval" queue... and it's going to take me some time (because I can only check so many IP addresses per hour) to work through them all.

Anyway, please be polite to the new posters, and (as usual) I apologize for the delay.

Uh...I don't think we need any "new users" as you call them. In fact, we don't need any outside influence at all. We already have everything figured out.

I remember a new user that came on Bisonville right before Homecoming a number of years back. Made for quite the fireworks.

Thank you Admin! I promise I will be nice since it appears you do have it all figured out and I am a BISON fan!

Probably f'hawker fans who wanted to talk smack before the game.

we're getting new bros, bros?

[BisonHorns]

Make sure you mention the dues, and that there are no math or spelling expectations.

I hope it is the people from FB who keep telling people to be nice... WRONG place to come if that's who it is.

I don't reject new users just based on their location, but if their username is gibberish, their username has been registered on a lot of boards recently, if the ISP sounds like it'd be one a spammer would like, and/or the IP address shows up as being flagged as a spammer... it's very time consuming which is all the more reason I should stay on top of the user registrations.
