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.

Well, I unblocked gmail accounts for a few days, but the flood of spammers using that email service still continues. So I put the block back in place. Sorry, but if gmail can't better police the spammers using their facilities, then I have no choice. Legitimate members will just have to find a better email service to use.

Just got this email from Google:
Quote:
Dear Gmail Account User,
This message is from Google Mail Customer care messaging center, to all Gmaill account owners. We are currently upgrading our data base servers, and e-mail account center.
We are deleting all unused Gmail accounts to create more space for new accounts. You will have to Authenticate your Gmail Account below to prevent a permanent closure of this email address.

If I click authenticate it asks for name, address, phone #, birthday, gender, email, password, ect.

I haven't gotten that email for my gmail account.
I Googled gmail authenticate, and most of the top hits I got were relative to this http://tech.slashdot.org/story/11/02...ation-to-gmail. Was the email addressed to you specifically? If not, it might be a good idea to report it to Google as phishing - they'll confirm the authenticity if it is for real.

That is definitely not a legit email. Usually messages about updates and password recovery will come in directly in the Google Account interface when you log in. Sometimes they send emails but most of the really important stuff it will catch you when you log in.

I didn't...I wasn't sure if it was legit. Do I just click "report spam" or is there somewhere else I should send it?

The block on gmail accounts has been lifted. My programmer gave me a tool to help deal with the spammers more efficiently.
