User Activation Process - What happens when you register.
Posted: Tue Dec 11, 2018 7:10 am
I am posting this so everyone is clear on what happens on my end when a new user registers for access to the Forum.
1) I receive a notice in my email. It tells me what the new user name is with a link to activate
2) Prior to activation I go and look at the registration form and validate certain pieces of information, using several tools.
3) If the new user appears to be suspicious, their profile is immediately deleted and IP address may be blocked
4) If the registration looks legitimate, then the user is activated
5) This is why there is sometimes a lag between when you register and when you become activated.
Thanks for your understanding. John
