New Users have to be moderated :(

Postby Galactic Effectuator » June 25th, 2009, 9:31 am

Sorry for to make this announcement ...

We are going to have to moderate new users, at least for awhile.

It appears that we had many worms in the woodwork and a lot of misue of the forum boards. It requred heavy pruning of users.

If we accidentally removed a Starlord's account, I am most sorry. Please contact me or another effectuator at ge@imperialwars.com and we'll make it right!

After 3 days of angst and feeling particularly dumb I have been able to make some changes to the board that may reduce the number of spams and spambots that have been plaguing us. (fingers crossed).

For the next few days activation will still have to be approved for new accounts but I hope to change that soon. I am also sorry that I trashed the avatars somehow. I think I'll figure out how to get them back. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to re-organize this board. Our old board seemed to be more friendly and there was a very active community involved. Perhaps we can get that back again.

If you watching, thanks for you patience, Starlords.

Spam bot posts have dropped drastically but still getting a couple a day so deleted all board members who joined in June of this year, since I'm sure one of them was a bot.

If your account was accidentally deleted, please contact the Galactic Effectuator at ge@imperialwars.com and we'll get it fixed up.

Thanks for your patience. We're trying to get geared up to make some big changes here and it starts with keeping our neighborhood clean and clear of vandals.
