I have had to change the way that people are able to register to use the forums, due to the huge amount of pornography sites that were being linked to by people abusing the registration and member details.
From now, when people register, rather than being able to use the boards straight away, as has been the case, they will have a random password emailed to them at the email address they provide.
Thus, they will have to use a valid email address to be able to register and if they subsequently do stuff they arent allowed to do, they will be easier to ban from the site.
If anyone needs further information, please feel free to contact me by email or u2u.
