Due to spammers I am still manually approving every new account request. It's a PITA but is far easier than cleaning up the damage a spammer does when they get through.
That said...
Someone just tried to register an account that spoofs the name of an existing member. No, I'm not going to tell you who so don't ask. We've seen what kind of damage this does here in the past. I refuse to believe any good can come from this sort of thing and I consider it a form of harassment. That makes it a violation of the AUP, in spirit if not letter.
If you are unhappy with someone here, and THAT person is not violating the AUP, you have a few options:
1. Address your concerns with this person directly via PMs. I encourage you to build a bridge and get over it. Work it out.
2. Ignore the person. When you view a person's profile there is a link along the bottom that says, "Ignore this user." This will block 90% of their content. You will only see their posts when someone else quotes them.
3. Leave.
I will not allow personal vendettas to be acted out on this site. I'm sorry if you think this is unfair. You are apparently not in tune with the spirit of this site and this community. For chrissake, we just had anonymous people donate money to buy a member tires. THAT is the spirit of this site.
If I've misread this attempted registration I apologize, but I ask that you pick a different name and resubmit.
Thank you for your support.
