Just to let you guys know that in several recent cases (we've had two so far this week), there are those who start to register here, but fail to finish the process in a timely manner. When someone registers, they instantly get a email that contains a link that they have to click on to verify their email address. Mikey and I get notified when someone hasn't done that yet, and we're given the chance to either leave it be in hopes that they complete the process, pass them through without doing so or deleting them entirely. We've been giving them some time to finish, but not always. Let's take "zasamuelgoolet5118" who tried to register yesterday. He only spent 20 seconds on line here, was from Russia and his bio says, "dating". No chance that he will come back and if he did, I'd expect him to bring along some spam with him, so I deleted him. If he's truly interested in railroading and doesn't think this is a dating site, he'll retry, but I doubt it. Oh yeah, we always check them out on SFS, if they appear there, we will pass them through, then ban them.
So if you see a "new member" and then a few hours later, he disappears, you now know why. As for those spammers, we always ban them to prevent them from re-registering.
Sometimes that's the only fun we get as mods and admins....

Just saw a new (to me anyway) attempt at a scam. Got an e-mail supposedly from Amazon saying I needed to sign in. Interestingly enough a half hour earlier I had received an e-mail from Amazon telling me my order had shipped.
The clue? The bogus sender was amazon with a lower case. If I had not had an e-mail from the real Amazon I might not have noticed it.
Beware!!! They are out to get you!
