Site Rejections for new members
« on: July 23, 2015, 02:40:26 PM »
New potential members, when filling out the registration you must fill in the boat make & model, this is the way I can tell if you are human or a computer spam program. When we first re-opened the site a few weeks ago we had 51,000+ applications for membership, all were automated computer generated bogus attempts to get into our site. We added a filter that checks each application, if it doesn't add up it will flag your application. A computer program does not know what models we have, if your application says 1984 American Skier or 1976 Ski Nautique it will pass, but a 1929 buster or a 2012 flightmaster is not. We have a quality, informative site here & I want to keep it that way. If you get a reject notice apply again & put in a model.
