Regrettably this Forum seems to have been invaded by a swarm of cockroaches, in the form of spambots, posting adverts for whatever kind of useless merchandise they are promoting.
At present we are dealing with this vermin by stopping them as soon as they apply for membership, insted of waiting for them to post their crap. The crunching sound while stepping on them is very satisfying.
However, this also means that all new members, even legitimate ones, now need to be approved by the Admin, before being allowed to create the account. Using your Mud name when creating an account will make it easier for us to identify valied posters. But in case we still mistake any of our esteemed members for cockroaches and deny you the access, you need to contact the Mud Administration in game, or over note, e-mail or mudmail to be able to post.
