Profile Website Listings

In an effort to combat spambots, website addresses will not be listed in a profile until the member has posted a certain number of times and can be trusted. This is now an automatic function of the forum program. (Thanks, Tum!)

In the meantime, I will continue to delete inactive members on a daily basis. I hope this helps keep our community free of these useless, irritating people.

What is the amount you must have posted (with over 1,000 myself, I hope it's not too high up there)?

Nothing like that. Keep in mind, automated systems will sign up a member name and never post. The post requirement is just enough to ensure they're not signing up just to have their website listed in their member profiles. They do this on all of these forum boards in order for the google search engines to think their site is popular (based on the quanity of links pointing toward it) and rank it higher.
