Sadly, due to the nature of people and the internet a recent phenomenon of people creating profiles to advertise random businesses and websites is affecting us.
At the time of writing this, we have been getting fake registrations every day for the last year.
Typically these accounts do not post anything and just put one or more text links into thier signatures. Most of the automated registrations have been blocked but there are always plenty of people who are willing to spam links all over the internet for a few dollars so we can't catch the humans (yet!).
I've taken the descision that anybody who has an account with no posts is not contributing anything to this place and therefore their account will be deleted within 1 day of them joining.
If you have recently signed up, this means that you should post something, even if it's just a quick introductory "hi there, I'm whoever and I joined to learn about XYZ" kind of post. Failure to do this will result in the removal of your account, no exceptions, and a possible permanent ban.
These measures may seem harsh, but consider that over 600 fake accounts have been deleted this year, all with links in the signatures, harming this site's google rating because of irrelevant backlinks so unfortunately these measures are non-negotiable.
If you want to register and use the resources here, it's free.
If you can't be bothered to make an introductory post, we don't want you.
If you post an ad that is not relevant to the content of this site in your sig without permission you will be banned permanently.
