Hopefully a useful site suggestion . . .

Speed up the moderating of posts from new members. I joined a few days ago and have made a couple of posts but none of them have yet appeared. I recently ditched bullshido.net for this very reason. If you want 'new blood' joining the forum then IMHO this issue needs addressing otherwise potential new members will move on.
BTW I tried contacting the forum administrator and the email bounced as an invalid email address so maybe something else that needs tweeking :-)

Sorry about that. We've been inundated with a large number of accounts registering with Alphabet Soup names like "lmnopqwerty12345@blahblah.net" that are obvious bot/spam accounts.

Which method did you use to contact the admin? I'll look in to it to see why it bounced instead of coming to me.
