Hi all,

Lately the site has been experiencing a problem with what seems to be SPAMBOT registrations, ie what looks like a bunch of new members is actually one entity (registering from the same IP address) with a fake email address and a bio filled with spam links.

In an effort to weed out these SPAMBOTS, we need to make sure that all the genuine members have registered with a genuine email address.  So, what we need all of you to do is to please make sure your profile details are up to date and that your email address is a valid one.  If all members could check these details as soon as possible, that would be a great help and much appreciated!

Of course, there are other reasons why two or more members would share the same IP address - using a shared computer in a dorm or at home, for example - and that's not a problem at all.  The only reason that would become a problem would be in the case of 'sockpuppeting', whether to troll or flame other members or constantly heap praise upon someone with an identical IP address.  *g*

Thanks for reading, and see you all on the other side of the series finale.
