User Policy Change
In an attempt to cut down on the noise level I have instituted the following policy:
User accounts must be activated within one week from the time the account is requested and created. New accounts that have not had a login after one week will be deleted.
This policy will also allow me to "weed out" the lusers who don't provide a valid e-mail address when registering. By the way, I can't think of anyone who more deserves the epitaph of "luser" than someone who doesn't provide a valid e-mail address when completing a registration form that states that their login credentials will be e-mailed to them.
At the moment this policy will be enforced by me manually going through the user list and deleting any accounts that are older than a week and that have never logged in. I hope to be able to automate the task at some point in the future. My "About Dave's Blog" page has been updated to include this policy.
Cheers,
Dave
