Important Changes To The Message Board

[WebMaster]

As originally established, a user could sign up, and pretty much immediately be granted permission to post.
As we have seen, recently, that has been taken as a liberty to post SPAM on our message board. To counter that, I am implementing a policy that each new user will have to be verified (it's painless, I assure you), before they are allowed to post.

Secondly, we recently had a vote on permitting, or not, avatars. As of now avatars are permitted. Keep them clean, family friendly.
