I know there has been a lot of spam on the board lately. Keep on reporting them and I will do my best to get rid of them. Sorry for the private messages that you have received.

:lol:

I ended up with a total of 3 SPAM but easy peasy to delete without reading.

This silliness I think ends up in most boards despite efforts to the contract - just don't click and life should be good.

Chancellor, thanks for your work to minimize collateral damage!

From now on, new users will have to have their logins authenticated by me. I really did not want to have to do that. But, it is what it is.

I know new users are good thing for the board but hopefully not too overwhelming for you. I vote you a raise!!! :D

Thanks WMW! So far since I made that change, I have had 15! different russians try to hit the board and ask for permission. I hope there isn't a real user in there and I am sorry if there is.
If you are Russian and really interested in dressage, feel free to contact us through the contact page, prove to me that you are interested in dressage or at least horses and I will grant access.
If you are Russian and just trying to spam the board, making your email address Chris@Canada123.com isn't going to convince me that you are canadian.

How do you delete PM's? I can't find a delete button.

I've been away for a while. When I read this thread I was a little jealous that I didn't get any Russian pms. I usually get an email notification but had nothing. I checked and lo and behold I had 3! I really feel part of the group now!
