Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Really?
I have never had them do anything like that. I got a phone call once regarding a charge they thought was out of the ordinary (a one cent charge) which turned out to be someone testing the number before using it but I had to cancel the card. They just notified me of something odd. Didn't do anything else on their own.
That's freaky.

I have had mastercard do something like that .... cancel my card & issue a new one.
My bank also blocked/cancelled our debit card one year during Christmas time. Took forever (seemed like it any way) to get it straightened out.
Sometimes, card companies jump the gun when looking out for their customers.

I can see a card company doing it but paypal?
When has paypal ever done something proactive? They don't even issue refunds when you get stiffed on a purchase.

The reason I am accepting this at face value is because the same thing happened recently from a long term member over on my CornSnakes.com site. The guy didn't know anything at all about PayPal initiating a dispute, and it appeared to be actually an issue between PayPal and his credit card company. So apparently PayPal tries REAL hard to keep from losing any money themselves, and I guess this is the way they handle it.
Anyone who works with PayPal will likely take some lumps from them sooner or later. However there really aren't any feasible alternatives for financial transactions on the net. Burning bridges with PayPal in a snit is really not a wise idea, in my opinion. So you have to treat them like an eccentric rich old uncle who acts irrationally at times, but for the most part is handy to have around.

If it's not handled automatically via the coding of vBulletin, then no, that is not an option. I've got enough to do just trying to keep spammers out of here, handle "I forgot my password!" emails, and trying to point people in the right direction when they ask "Why can't I post replies in the classifieds?"

Heck, years ago I was offered a job to do network administration and I turned it down flat. When asked why, I told him that I just did not want to have to deal with having people contact me all day long because they forgot their password or otherwise could not log in. So much for that....
Seriously, I will get emails from people who will say nothing more than, "Hey, I forgot my login name and my password. And my email address has changed. Can you help me?" Yeah, I'm supposed to be psychic and pull that information right out of thin air. Lately I don't even bother to respond to them. Well, once I did. And I just replied back, "Yeah, sure, here you go. Have a nice day." And nothing more. Sorry, I guess I just snapped.....

I had a similar issue with PayPal where they took it upon themselves to "protect me from potential fraud" by blocking me from sending money to the same person I had been sending money to for weeks with a payment plan. Even when I called they refused to lift the "protective block" and the only way I could send that person money through PayPal was to buy one of those stupid MoneyPak cards, load it and send it that way.
As if that somehow was going to protect me.
Even now they refuse to let me send money to that person. They claim they cannot override it.
I hate PayPal.
