I re-enabled the option to approve all new sign ups cause even though I have recaptcha, spammers are still getting into the site, and spamming, so all new users are supposed to go through the approval process, however I am not sure if that applies to Facebook sign ups. If so, message me on facebook, Joseph Slabaugh, and I can approve you.
You can now use your Facebook to sign into EX-Amish Forum Version 3.0! Note that you should include something about Amish in your application, as I got so many spammers that have weird messages as their bot created applications that I have to weed through to find the legitimate ones. However, I have found that also if you sign up via Facebook, then I have no such issue.
I just deleted a few spammers from the site, and as a result, I made it so that new users have to be approved. I have over 100 members signed up, and I do not want to have spammers on my forum sending an email to a 100 people so if you are new to the forum, you can connect via the facebook button, then message me on Facebook, and I can approve your membership.
I just went through over 2600 accounts and declined all the spammers. Again if anyone files to get an account, please put the word "amish" in the application, or I will decline it. I had vary few out of those 2600 that I approved, but if they had that in the app, I could search for them, and approve them. It toke over 1 day to go through all these accounts, but I am glad it is done.
This is to show why I have a hard time going through all the spam, with 30,000+ applicants, it is next to impossible to find legit users. Now if only these spammers each paid me 1 dollar per application...
