Membership

[Jhanananda]

I have recently received a great deal of help from Sam Lim gandarloda and Michael Hawkins in weeding out SPAMers.  However, due to increasing SPAM I have now closed the forum so that no new member can post without being vetted by an administrator.  Being vetted by a administrator means the new member must, first join the forum, then send a personal message to an administrator requesting an upgrade of membership that allows posting.  That request must demonstrate that the member understands the mission of this forum.

This forum's administrators are: Sam Lim gandarloda, Michael Hawkins; and Jhanananda.

The other way to upgrade one's membership to this forum is to make a donation to the Great Western Vehicle, by clicking the "donate" button at the top of the page.  And, please do put in the comments of your donation that you wish to upgrade your membership to this forum.

SPAM is a threat to freedom of speech, and obstruction of our freedom of religion.  If the people are serious about freedom of speech and freedom of religion, then they will figure out a way to eliminate SPAM and SPAMers without eroding personal freedom.

In a recent effort to purge the membership here of fraudulent accounts due to SPAM, I removed many memberships that did not seem to be active.  If you feel your account was incorrectly purged, then please feel free to rejoin this forum, and please do let a moderator know that you wish to post here, if you do.

Many apologies to the genuine seekers who find too many obstacles in their way wishing membership on this forum. The moderators here are only trying to stem the flood of SPAM.

This forum was recently brought down again due to the flood of SPAM. If there is any further trouble with SPAM, then I am seriously considering deleting all newbie members here.  My reasoning is: most of the membership is most probably just SPAM engines; and there is no reason to be a member here if one does not post, because the forum is otherwise available for anyone to read through.  So, if you do not wish your membership here deleted, then I urge you to request an upgrade of your membership here to vetted.

Please voice your opinion if you have one.
