Here we go again: Want to be on the Forum? Don't Sign up with Jibberish !

[Advicesisters]

Ok; Here it is again:  I get so many spambot requests on this blog, I can barely keep up with rejecting them.  So please do me and yourself a favor -- if you are a person who is here to participate, or at least just harmlessly lurk, and you want to be a member, do NOT submit a jibberish member name.

For example:  "Nancycatlover"  is ok, "naurlycatfluxdy" is NOT.

If you do not submit a reasonably identifiable member name or nickname, I will automatically assume your request was generated by a spambot, and immediately delete it.  And if a spammer gets by me (it happens, although not often) I will automatically and permanently ban that person so don't bother to try it.

And for those of you with .RU in your email. Sorry, I know some of you might really want to be part of this bulletin board in a legitimate way.  But so far, and in the past year, 100% of the .ru requests I have found are emails that are from spammers. If you really are legitimate, and you want to sign up here with a .ru email, contact me with your request to be approved through the CONTACT US button on the advice sisters web site http://www.advicesisters.net/ and prove you're a real person!

Thank you for your understanding

Alison, your moderator
