Should Dave Cont. To Screen New Users??

[BC-LittleaBige]

Hey everyone!!

Dave wants to get member input on this and asked that we put up polls to get votes/comments/opinions.

As of now those that want to join FT fill out an online form. Dave reviews it and decides whether or not to give them access. It takes a lot of his time but it has cut down on spammers and those that are trying to get into FT to post things for sale, links to their websites or think this is a dating site of some sort.

Dave would like your opinion on whether he should continue to screen new users or stop and allow everyone access.

Thanks for voting/commenting on this!

I think if he should screen, it should be a very "light" screening. I know when I first joined I was in a very low state of mind (back in the late 90's) and I wasnt ready to share my stories with anyone, certainly not a guy. The screening should be done just to make sure they are humans (not bots) and belong here. Lets face it, anyone can pass any detector if they really want to...it may cut down but not out. The key lies in the moderators. As soon as they notice spamming, delete their profile and ban their IP.
