Welcome to the forum! Enjoy your stay!

Not the first, won't be the last either. All new members start with a 30 day probationary period. It helps us weed out those who don't really want to come here to participate in the discussions but rather to hock their wares. Given that you've just signed up and already have 5 posts, I don't think non-participation will be an issue for you.

Welcome.

Hi Ginsue. Yep, I totally understand and support it. I own and operate a ski discussion forum, and we do similar things to ward off the spammers. Tight anti spammer software, a quarantine period, and a no second chance policy. You have to, or the spammers can wreck a forum in fast order.

I like the feel of your community, what a warm welcome. Great job nurturing it.

Welcome fastman, at least it isn't a felony so your probation doesn't affect your right to own and bare arms, Do your community service and before ya know it your 30 days in the hole will be over Welcome my friend.

Hi Monky. We give second chances for rudeness, people are human after all, but spamming is just a blatant attempt to take advantage of our community and bother our members. I've seen spamming, either openly or veiled, do great damage to internet forums. As Barney would say, "Nip it in the bud."
