Title: Registration Authorization
Post by: JGZinv on October 05, 2011, 01:48:27 pm

Please Admin approve user The Devil, he's an old member of the Tachyon community that will be helping FringeSpace with texturing our models.

Thanks.

He should register with a different name.  I believe that's on the list of prohibited names.

Really? For what reason? :blah:

In order to avoid silly troll naming. "God" is prohibited as well, IIRC.

Man, then we could have God, The Devil, and Bob-san. :(

Actually, "God" isn't, because g-o-d is too common a combination of three letters.  But "God" and "Jesus" accounts were registered on HLP in the past, and subsequently deleted.

Well it's on the list to stop someone registering with that name in order to troll. If we have a legitimate user with that name, I see no issue with it.

Well the guy has just gone by that for about 10 years, used to be his clan tags too  The Devil =RG=  being Royal Guard and Devils Fist clans,
but I guess he'll have to use something else.

I don't see how "devil" pertains, cause if you search the memberlist there's a dozen or so "devil" people.

Ok he tried to make a different account,  Arioch   but that is blocked too...   come on guys.   It's hebrew for "the lion"  how is that a blocked word / name / etc.

They probably registered before the list was created.

Blocked from registration isn't the same thing as awaiting admin approval for registration.  Alternatively, the forum may be checking the email address as well as the username.

Anyway, I see Arioch on the member queue, so I'm approving him.

I've got another new team member that seems to be waiting on admin approval.

User:  MrRstar

Should have registered yesterday.

Can we get this cleared up?   Thanks.

Patience, everyone.  With literally 100+ spam registrations a day (it crept back up after Zacam's recent enhancements) we don't feel like sorting through them constantly.  Referrals help.

I've approved MrRstar.

Yeah I thought that might be related. Thanks for the fix.
