        Nope - no stopping me - just the normal activation of the registration by clicking on the link in the e-mail you sent me as well as posting in the newbies section...

        maybe I am too small for the filter to catch??

            Tried to log on a day after i created my account and was told i was permanently banned for suspicion of being a spammer, then sent an email asking what was going on. Ban was soon lifted, not sure if thats what you mean by normal verification. It did turn me off for a while, but found myself crawling back for more answers about my sweet little polo haha.

              It's good you came back. The spam filter picks up on average 200-300 spammers just overnight, bit less during the day and it's almost impossible to manually verify every new member.

                      As Transporter said, there is a LOT of spammers that sign up each and every day. The filters are pretty good at weeding them out, but unfortunately there are still some false positives.

                      *Usually* if you have a .com.au email address and/or sign up in Australia you should sail through without issues, but it's not always the case. A quick reply to the email and I'll unlock your account, normally this is within 24 hours, if I happen to be sitting here it will be very quick but if I'm off at a car show interstate sometimes it could take a couple of days.

                      If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.
