What do y'all think about putting a requirement somewhere in the TOS that anyone wishing to become a member email any mod or admin a copy of their intro post. When we get said email, we'll know its a real person who 1. read the TOS, and 2. actually wishes to become a member - enough to pick a mod and email us.

Just an idea. I haven't 'woodshedded' it yet, so have at it.

We should try it.

Seems like we get a manageable number of real applicants anyway, so I dont think it would be overwhelming.
Everyone else just gets rejected automatically.

Then I have to put a real email address in my profile?  I wonder what's in there now...


edit:  Oh, that's real.  Just not often checked.  I can make a forward filter.

So... We're going to detect spammers by giving spammers our email addresses?

Maybe we should set up a hotmail account that we can all check, and delete it if it gets out of hand.

I didn't read the TOS.

Um... no. The email addresses are already there; and we'd be telling people (in the TOS) to send a mod a copy of their intro. If spammers haven't found and used our emails by now; why would they if we put that in the TOS? We aren't giving spammers anything. Not sure how you got that.

I didn't read the TOS.

 You're already a member.



  We don't have to do it. It was just an idea. We've only gotten a few real people who actually wanted to sign up in the past few years anyway, and almost all of those are already gone (except the cool ones like Wunderkind). I figured since we make a big deal of reading the TOS; that would be a good place to put an instruction for potential real members. If they read it and send us an email; we can be pretty certain it's a real person interested in joining rather than a spammer or bot, or someone just looking to post "HELP ME!" and then disappear.
  We can certainly use a different, single email address checked by all. I just figured since our profiles have email addys for members already, it would be sensible to just use those. But I'm game for whatever; to include ditching the idea entirely.
