For unknown reasons, the forum has a rash of of bogus new members lately. I assume their purpose is bad, since they are not just joining for fun, and they are not doing it for the poker discussion. I have deleted some of them, but I am concerned may delete a real new member. I am about to become more aggressive in deleting these New Members, who have what appears to be computer generated names and strange e-mails. Our admin has added a verify step to membership, he tells me, but these members pop up at a rate of 4-5 a day anyway.

So unless I recognize you, or you have a meaningful user name, I will be deleting the new users pretty aggressively (as is my nature). If you are a real user, the easiest thing is to post something, or drop me a line and tell me you are real. Otherwise, I may easily delete you, which is exactly what I do not want to do.

So if I delete a real person with an interest in my forum, I’m sorry. Write to me via the contact page, and I will have you reinstated right away.
