Hello and welcome. This is a quick note to advise anyone joining our forum.

We get a large number of automated registrations which people use as a method of spam.

To help ease the process, when filling out your registration details, please do not fill out a website link unless its live/real and please make sure its suitable for a family audience, if not, your registration will be deleted because we will assume your one of these spam registrations.

When you register with the forum we get an email saying that you have registered and then we go and manually activate your account. Generally we do this pretty quickly as there is usually always an admin about, but it could take a day or two.

Also, please only register once. If you have forgotten your login details please email themanagementATcbfsimDOTorg (replacing AT and DOT with the symbols).

Duplicate accounts will also be deleted.

Hope this helps any of you who have tried to register and it seems to have disappeared, we've maybe thought you were spam. :redface:

Thanks for looking.

That makes sense Ben as I've deleted a bucket load over the past couple of days.. many of which have had web links that don't work and email addresses that do not conform to the norm. As a rule, spam memberships always include a website address so if you do not want to be considered as spam and you really DO work for a pharmacutical company.. DON'T include it on your membership request

Here's an example of what we're up against. The latest member was (until I just deleted it) an innocent sounding 'ballard'. Before activating the account, we always pop in to see what sort of details are listed and this is what was displayed on ballards member page..

Seems our friend 'ballard' is more interested in Russian online gaming casino's than flight simming so he's been removed. Not all spam joiners are this obvious but if the signs are there.. you will not be accepted
