Default OT: We're Moderating New Members

As you can see we've been controlling the influx of trolls, etc. and I've been moderating new registrations, and you should see the people trying to get in here (around 30-50 registrations per hour). The e-mails when their accounts get rejected are great. Here's one of the latest:

"Membership requirements?! What -- am I too old? Didn't pass the entrance exam?

Losers.

Normally, I wouldn't do this, but your "membership requirements" idiocy begs for it:

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA!!!!

On the biggest choke in sports history."
-------------

Another great contributor that won't be joining us. There are many others, but that's the most recent.

Ian

Post their emails so we can spam the heck out of them.

Brilliant. Positively effing brilliant


Maybe there ought to be some sort of permanent "entrance exam" or "application"

Really is kind of sad. We'd be so happy if the defense could've just made one last stop, sighs. I've tried not to think about it and stayed busy most of the day, have not listened to or read anything sports related other than this forum, but man. One stop is all we needed.

I say let in a few here and there just so we can tear them apart. If they're Giants fans that's one thing but (as my thread indicated) I'm absolutely loving these fans of other terrible teams coming in here trying to talk ***** to a fans of a team that embarrassed them this year and will embarrass them again next year. We lost in the Superbowl. Their teams didn't even make it there and it the case of the Jest fans, won't make it there probably ever. Totally hilarious.

How about a moratorium on new registrations until the faithful PatsFans message board contributors mourn their loss?

Not a problem. I'm just trying to let in new Pats fans while trying to keep the obvious idiots out of here. So far so good. - Ian
