Membership requirements to join this forum

[Hanno Spoelstra]

To all, including the people whose application has been turned down: please bear in mind that registering with very creative user names makes it harder for us to check who you are and if you have a genuine interest in joining this forum. Having gone through 700+ user names I have seen every possible meaningless one.

I have had to turn down applications because the chosen user names showed up on spammer control sites, while in fact there were genuinely interested people behind it. A waste of both your time and ours.

And if you are from a non-English speaking country, please provide some more details as described above, as sometimes we do not instantly recognise foreign names as being genuine ones.

Thanks for your help and we hope to welcome you here soon!

Regards,
Hanno
