Hi Don,
Above is what we now advise on the forum registration page. It states exactly what is expected, yet probably somewhere between 25% and 50% of the registrants do not fill out their registration as requested.
So in an effort to stem the tide of miscreants, can we make the following changes:
Make the font both larger and bold
Change the language as follows: All registrations require the approval of the moderators BEFORE your account will be accepted. Failure to enter valid, true information such as your FULL NAME, ADDRESS, and a valid PHONE NUMBER will prevent your account’s approval. PLEASE don’t attempt any shortcuts (i.e., initials only, non-verifiable address or bogus phone numbers) as we DO authenticate all the information and your efforts will prove to be a waste of time.
No idea if it will work, but this is the best that I’ve got.
