Hi there. In order to keep these forums spam-free I filter all account requests manually; for example, I quickly check to ensure an applicant's IP and email address have never been associated with spam attacks on other forums.
That's the *sole* purpose of the filtering process: I maintain no blocklist or banlist for any other reason except spam, so if you're a real person and you've been refused entry, it's because you've been mistakenly identified as a spammer, full stop.
Spammers are still easy to spot and I don't think I've made any mistakes yet, but I mention this because they're growing more frequent, sophisticated and convincing as time goes by, so the chance that I'll accidentally block a real person is going up. If you're an actual person reading this and you've been refused entry, shoot me a quick email at the address link at the bottom of the page and I'll let you in.
[I might have one or two quick questions about your PARIS rig but I guarantee they'll be nothing a real person can't answer - or explain why they can't.  ]

Spammers. Spammers. And more spammers. Seven in one batch a couple of days ago.
I'm now at the point of immediate deletion if someone's application looks the least bit shady, so email me and let me know if you've been mistakenly ID'd as a spammer and I'll let you in.
