| Spammers |

Just now, a person has registered as "Free Poker Site."
I am assuming this person is a spammer as I got a Notification Email confirming that "Free Poker Site's" registered email is a fake.
"This is the qmail-send program at myfreeforum.org.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following
addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
<web@free-online-poker.us>:
Sorry. Although I'm listed as a best-preference MX or A for that host,
it isn't in my control/locals file, so I don't treat it as local.
(#5.4.6)"
Also, the person's membership was stated as:
----------------------------
Username: free poker site
Password: nopass
----------------------------
So, all member, should this account be deleted as I assume they are trying to violate our terms and conditions.

I don't know anyone's password unless I get an email saying that the email address someone used to register is fake.

IMHO there should be a rule against registering with a fake email, i mean, why on earth would anyone genuine use a fake email?

I agree with Kat &, Deako you've got to have some kind of safety net, just to be on the safe side and why not start with, not using a fake e-mail address cos really it's the only way to check someone out and if they fail on the first hurdle then something is going on .
I must admit when I joined I got several PM messages asking how I had found the forum and I could understand at being asked, as this forum has such a comfortable feeling to it, that anyone not following simple rules like an e-mail address could course some concern.
I have a little movie forum just like this one, part of the free forum org, connected to this one and I check every e-mail out, cos if someone was to come on and cause hassle, I first want to contact them as ask them to stop, but if I could not contact them than I would have to delete there user account. I’ve never had to do this yet as most of the people on it are like the people this forum, nice and have followed the rules.
I think it's good that you have asked some of the members what you should do under the circumstances. I think if I get a similar problem I will do the same thing, as just because a person sets up a forum it does not just mean other members inputs are not welcome.
Any hoo Kat & Deako are right in what they are saying, also don't worry I’m not spamming by mentioning my forum, I have a link to this site on my link page from my official web page, please don't throw me off, it’s nice to go off to another forum to talk about something not everyone on my forum is interested in.

Anyways, I think a vast amount of non-participating members ought to be deleted... Some have exceeded the 2 month deadline (See Rules and Guidelines) by about half a year!

Don't worry, Carl B Harrison. You don't need permission to put your links on this forum. Most of us (well, mostly Kat ) have done a links section.
