Bamboo Posted April 17, 2010 Report Posted April 17, 2010 I was surfing away and found the hemi6 website. As I own a Val, I thought I'd take a look around. I was told you can't view unless your a member.I'm told it's free. So I try and join. I'm then told my e-mail has been banned and I have to report it to get through. I reported and have waited 4 hours, with no response. I thought forums wanted people to join, not make their life a misery. Which is why I support rollaclub. by the people, for the people! Bamboo
Evan G Posted April 17, 2010 Report Posted April 17, 2010 ahk, it wouldnt let me become a member in ae86dc cause i had hotmail.
Bamboo Posted April 17, 2010 Author Report Posted April 17, 2010 Which is absolute shit. If you want people to discuss cars, please join the 21st century. we don't all use ISP e-mail!! Their loss, no val discussion for them!

Their loss, no val discussion for them! It takes 2 mins to make a hotmail account so there is a greater chance of people spamming, If you have the net then you obviously have an ISP email account.

Yep, i do. doesn't mean I actually use it. I've been on the net for 10+ years and have never used an ISP e-mail. I like to travel and find web based e-mail convenient. The joining requires you to "translate" encrypted garble to join which negates the difference. So an example is I'm a rollaclub member with no grief, but with this............. boo

Bamboo If you're complaining about not getting a response within 4 hours, then for the love of God don't sign up on OzCelica or Toymods....great forums, but the hoops you jump through for registration (in my mind a good thing, weeds out the spammers and the wookies) means that you'd be lucky to get accepted within a week, a month for OzCelica (mainly because the admin is rarely around).
Bamboo Posted April 17, 2010 Author Report Posted April 17, 2010 So a question for irokin. How bad is spam on rollaclub?
irokin Posted April 17, 2010 Report Posted April 17, 2010 So a question for irokin. How bad is spam on rollaclub? Pretty much non-existent. I use a supah secret method few forums actually know about :jamie: I approach this kind of thing with the view that malicious users are going to jump through the hoops to achieve their goals so why make it difficult for genuine users? What have you achieved other than driving away potentially valuable members? Others view it differently and thats fine, I'm not one to tell them how to run their forums. I guess I'm lucky to have an anti-spam solution that works 99.999% of the time and dedicated moderators who deal with the few persistent troublemakers exceptionally well.
Gspec Posted April 17, 2010 Report Posted April 17, 2010 I was surfing away and found the hemi6 website. Apparently there are plenty of d!ckheads on Hemi6 forum (i can't join as I have a hotmail email). Try MoparMarket forum... sooo much better. Look me up, I'm CCLXV (work that name out) I've tried to join 3TCgarage but I have to wait for an activation email. its been quite a few weeks so far. As you say, it appears they have too many members already :jamie:
SLO-030 Posted April 17, 2010 Report Posted April 17, 2010 I'm CCLXV (work that name out) 265 :jamie:

The e-mail address you entered is not allowed to be used. So I can look, but I can't touch. Looks like I'm forever Bamboo :lol: Edit. So I don't give up. I went to a small email provider on the basis that when they lock e-mail addresses out they only target the main ones. I WIN. my "new" e-mail ends in @australiamail.com. Now I'm registered. I was nowhere near as creative as gspec. I'm splitbench! Edited April 17, 2010 by Bamboo
irokin Posted April 17, 2010 Report Posted April 17, 2010 I've tried to join 3TCgarage but I have to wait for an activation email. its been quite a few weeks so far. The code for activation emails for all the forum software I've worked with is executed when you signup. So the email should be in the pipes from then and arrive in <10mins. Certainly if you don't get it after 4 days, chances are its not coming (unsent mail usually expires after 4 days).
