This forum uses several layers of anti-spam filtration. One of these layers refuses new users the ability to post URLs in either signatures or the body of their posts. After a reasonable number of non-spam posts are made, the filter automatically disables itself.

To solve the issue, either make a few sincere contributions to some active threads or post your URLs in a way that the system won't delete them, but that a reader can still make enough sense of them to type them into their own browser, i.e.: somedomain dotcom/mypage dot html.

A separate layer of antispam filtration comes in the form of automatic akismet post/thread filtration. if the system decides that you have enough spam keywords or links to commonly used spam sites, your post may be dumped by the system into a moderation queue.

If at any time during your membership to this forum, your email address changes from the one you register with today, you MUST update the address in your profile. Failure to do so or intentional obfuscation of this address by a user is grounds for account termination. We use automated software for account purging. If your email address is spoofed, the software may delete your account and set all of your posts to "Guest".

We're pretty good about not abusing your email address, so there's no reason not to keep it valid. If you choose to obfuscate it, you do so at your own risk. While we may feel bad about the predicament that leaves you in, we accept no responsibility for it.
