Title: Newbe
Post by: Easttexasdragon on April 27, 2012, 01:38:08 AM

I hate being a newbe and not being able to modify my profile until I post a bunch of times. The profile picture of me was before I lost all my weight. I need an admin to help me change it.   >*< Not to mention I look stupid    rofl

As goofy as it sounds it is a security step that was taken so spammers could be weeded out.
Since a viable email needs to be entered to get access Spammers needed to enter a legit email. being able to change your email before actually posting means we would be stopping the wrong addresses.
Note: this forum also shares spam info with other forums using SMF forum software. this includes IP addresses as well as email addresses.
Once a spammers info is entered into the black list it is there permanently.
