What's the reason for the IP bans Neil?
To cut down on spam.

A bit of a moan here, is it possible for the mods to start accepting membership requests again as I think there's one or two people I know who  want to sign up.
I can set them up if you were to give me a username and email address for them.

The problem with opening general registrations is that I end up with 100-150 Chinese, Bangledeshi and Russian spammers to deny every day, besides the ones that get caught up in the IP bans.  Maybe I should ask vM if we can get some sort of human verification-type test on the registration screen.

Neil, thanks for that I'll try and get some sense out of them. :cheers:

I didn't realise the problem was that big, I just assumed it was of the order of the couple of posters a day that used to be allowed to register and then never posted again.

Yeah human verification sounds like a good idea.

The owner of Geno's Steaks is el deado.  One guess as to the cause.

Was that the one with the "English only" sign or the other one?

The police-obsessed, English-only one.  I couldn't risk bringing an hispanohablante there, you know.   :D

That is quite mindblowing. Even when you know about it, the illusion still works!

She has an F-4 visa, not an "Entertainment" visa.
