So just how long does it take to become a member on this forum? We have how many admin and moderators? Three weeks ago my wife registered on here to become a member and also sent a PM to one of the admin under my account but has yet to get any reply or an email in return. I'm sure if someone was getting out of line it wouldn't take this long to remove them. How hard is it to check your email or whatever it may be to allow someone to become a member? I guess it must be pretty tough seeing it's been 3 weeks now.

Only admins can approve new members. I don't think Holly frequents the board very often anymore. I will send her an email.

I think for the sake of the site this should be important?

I've sent a bunch of people here from other forums, all local people, who have replied to me on other forums that they never get admitted. It's a shame.
one of my buddys had trouble getting on too. not sure if he ever got accepted. but im pretty new myself and i had no trouble. i think i got a reply the next day.

On most other boards this is a Moderator function and not an Admin function.

I don't have the power to do it. Pretty sure only Jon or Holly can.

Man I thought it was just me but apparently not. I didn't mean to open a can of worms here!! Just trying to get someone in the admin to approve my wife so she can get on here under her own screen name.

Constructive criticism always helps! New members is like getting new customers...My buddy Travis has been sending pms for 3 weeks(at least thats what he says). Just seems a little odd?

there notification emails and now there having problems with recieving new members.
Just a suggestion.....but maybe let one of the Moderators that is closest to the Admin that can possibly share the responsibilities and catch the site up. I know that a website can be very time consuming but it's what is needed to keep the site growing.

Or not have a useless procedure of having admins approve new members. There is no point to that what so ever.

Spambots, those that are kicked off and re-sign under a different name are two good examples.
I'll see if I can get ahold of anyone to kick start something.

sounds good. If the administrator is approving the new members but they see a name on the list that is waiting that doesnt look right and or the email they give looks suspicious they can simply send an email asking for verification. I do this on extremestreetcars. we have had a couple instances of span bots but there not hard to reconize.

There doing a background check on you then you have to go thru a series of drug testing.

Did you go back and update the title of your thread to say "SOLD"? Admins/Mods can't be responsible for reading each and every thread. Drop someone a PM if you feel the need. You help us, we help you. You want better service, expect to pay more.

I said ADMINS.
It is a moderator function.
Not an Admin function. The admin function is to make sure the back end works.
And if you would upgrade your captcha then you wouldn't have the spam problem.
Like I seriously don't get it...there are 100 better ways to do things on stangbangerz but since certain people want complete and absolute control, the running of the board goes to shit.
