HOW TO GET APPROVED FOR POSTING (SPAMMERS GO AWAY)

Folks, the insane number of spammers who apply to become members on this forum has become ludicrous, even with captcha words to try to stem the tide.
I cannot keep up, and I am sure that a few LEGIT folks are among the over 500 applicants sitting there now.

If you really do want to post here, and you are not some jerk spammer who gets paid to join as many sites as possible, please heed the following:

1. Register for this forum in the usual manner.

2. IMMEDIATELY send me an email, to the following address: My character name + at symbol + the name of this site dot com. I guess that also serves as a skill testing question. Sort of.

3. In the email, state why on earth you'd want to post here, in the quiet halls of slackerdom, and what game is your current favorite. Just cause I am curious.

4. Include the forum handle you want to have approved.

5. Click send.

That last part is important.

EDIT: I will also accept a reasonably coherent post to this thread in lieu of step 2 above. Again, be sure you list your forum handle so that I can find you before my regular purges of the spammer list masquerading as forum hopefuls.

This is what it will take to save you from languishing in the limbo of the site's "waiting to be approved" list.
For those of you who ended up there, I really am sorry. Blame the east-euro-trash who got into the queue.

Thankee!
