In an attempt to remove BTI's (Big Time Idiots) spammers from the forum, I installed the system to require an email to validate the opening of an account. This has limited the amount of new accounts and spam quite a bit.

However, there is still the occacional BTI that makes it through and ruins the day. Hence I am deleting accounts right and square, specially if one of the criteria is met:

1. The account has a website which has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with robotics. Sunglasses, weightloss, pills of different kinds, etc. all qualify to instant termination.
2. Posting never occurs and the login/email name looks suspicious

If you feel your account has been terminated without a reason, write to me and I'll make sure your account is not smitten down to Kingdom Come the next time. Thanks!

In order to eliminate spamming bots, I have added a ban for all email addresses ending in .info. If your email ends in .info your application for an account will be instantaneously denegated.
