Registration Procedure In Case Your Ip Address Is Banned
Most legitimate people can easily register an account on this forum by
filling out the registration data. However some may find that
they are banned from registering by this method because of their IP
address.
If you have tried to register an account on this forum, but were
informed that your ip address was banned, you can still register by
sending an email to
register at cgcsforum dot com
along with your desired userid, and email address
you wish to use. The forum admin will then register an account
for you and email your temporary password so that you can log in.
Then you can change your password to whatever you want.
This policy had to be implemented because of the large number of
attempts by unscrupulous people and their spam bots to register and
then place spamvertisments on the forum for Viagra, porno, fake Gucci
handbags, etc. In 2011, there were over 60,000 attempts made to
do this. As a result, whenever a spammer is detected, the entire
Internet Service Provider which give him access to the web is
banned. Banning the entire ip range which belongs to the ISP is
necessary because ip addresses assigned to individuals changes
frequently.
Thank you, and we hope to see you on the forum.
