Reminder to new members - thewitch - 06-12-2007
I don't know if it's Christmas or what, but we are currently inundated with spammers. If you want to join TTwebsite and be able to post as well as read, please join.
HOWEVER, if you do not give us some indication of your background (where you live, interests etc) and a FUNCTIONING email address, you will be zapped.
I can't think of any reason why prospective members would not do the above, but I spend hours every week trying to figure out whether new members are genuine, and if they don't provide even basic info and genuine at that, they will be toast.
Some other websites have dozens of members who have no interest in bikes, and who have www addresses with gross images. We work very hard to get rid of them as soon as possible, so you and your children will not accidentally come across them. Help us by making your genuine applications clear.

I have to agree with Helen.
We put in a lot of time and effort to keep TTwebsite porn and spam free while at the same time it is free and easy to register.
The flith available via some web forums is shocking in it's content and quanity.
Help us to help you and keep TTwebsite free from this muck

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. Cargo and I are zapping spammers all day and all night, quite literally. If you want to join this website PLEASE tell us where you live, what your interests are and make sure the email address you give us is current. It takes us several minutes to sort out each of you, and it's infuriating when we have to email for more details and the thing bounces.
There's nothing sinister about you telling us you come from Rotherham or wherever, and that you like Suzukis... spammers tell us lots... like they are government officials and love hockey...Once more PLEASE fill in enough detail to help us.
We want you to join, so play the game.

:idea: On a personal note............
I would like just one of our spamming, drug dealing, porn merchants, to be brave enough to provide me with a home address.
:wink:
I will then introduce you to a Northern Irish tradition...........it's a kind of fun game thing called "punishment beating" it involves excessive use of a baseball bat or hurly stick.............pick axe handles also feature.
Just one of you thats all :twisted:
