Registration and permissions changed

by Matt Purkeypile last modified Feb 22, 2008 10:21 PM

The registration and permission process has been changed.

The registration and permissions on the site has been changed.

Registration

People were having problems with the old registration emails going into their spam folders- preventing them from registering on the site. So instead of needing a valid email account to register, you just have to type in some text from a picture. This is to keep computers from automatically spamming the web site with advertisements and such.

Permissions

The site used to require that you "submit" any content you create for approval before it would show up. I've removed this restriction, so  content will appear immediately after posting it. If this becomes a problem (from people posting things they shouldn't) then I'll change it back.
