Screening of new members

Postby The Swede » Sun Dec 25, 2005 12:52 pm

Could we do a minimum check on people when they join ?

Today I noticed some member joining with a rather 'suspicious' handle, i.e. beautyteens.

The website (some poor porn site) put on their profile showed clearly this was a hoax. Especially as clicking on the link triggers a programme on your PC (wouldn't be suprised there is a virus attached).

We had a similar one join LADS a few weeks ago, that one didn't have any virus, just after some free advertising I suspect :wink:

There have been several dodgy ones register in the last few weeks. They get deleted as soon as they are spotted.

I missed this last one. Do you have a link to the site?!? :wink:
