Title: gmail accounts update

Hi everybody!
Due to the large number of spammers using gmail to register, it had been decided to not allow registrations using gmail. If anyone needs help with registration due to this problem, please do not hesitate to ask for help, and we will work out something.

If one is already registered via gmail, do we have to give another address?

No. Everyone is grandfathered in.

Golly, you must have been doing a great job of filtering out spam - never noticed any.

KH,
I have two spammers who are now hitting the Forum everyday. Fortunately, I am able to delete their posts before most people see them.

Two? Can't you block their IP or something then?

They keep spoofing me. It is OK. I will just keep deleting them.

The security of the Forum has been tightened, and it looks like it is working. Therefore, gmail accounts are again being allowed for sign-up. The situation will be monitored, to see if further adjustments to security are needed.
