threegee Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Contributory factors (in no particular order of importance) are:1) Lurk and don't have the manners to say hello to other members.2) Don't intelligently complete any of the fields in your profile.3) Use a throw-away e-mail address to register (particularly gmail).4) Spam some other forum and get blacklisted there first.5) Register with an abusive or "spammy" user or display name. (e.g. buy_mycrap_now).6) Register more than once (BOTH memberships will be trashed).7) Register with e-mail from a (non-developed or dubious) hosting account.(Don't worry if you don't understand this last one!)Note: Links in validation e-mails are now only valid for 48 hours AND you won't simply be able to re-register without some sort of (intentional or unintentional) delay, or possibly a probation period when your posts are pre-moderated.To stay super-sweet do the opposite of 1 to 7. The more background info you provide the easier it is for everyone. And, don't worry about using your "Sunday best" e-mail address here - we hate spammers too, and it won't be abused in any way or revealed to other members.The admins and moderators thank you for your help.
