For awhile now, all new members have had to get their account validated by an administrator before the account was enabled. This is the only way we could stop the spread of forum spam. This is obviously hinders both staff functionality and user friendliness. We have installed new modifications which will hopefully automatically detect these spambots and stop them from registering. As such, one only needs to self-validate their account VIA email after registering.
If you see any spambots report it to a staff member at once! Also, advertise the forum to all your friends!

You realize that most mods will ban IPs that spambots have that members have also, right? That's why we haven't installed them in the past. People like Swift were being banned.

There's an option on the mod I added to let them register but put them on Watch until a mod edits it, I'll turn that on.
