Folks,
There have been several attempts by some idiots who log in and try to defile the peace and harmony of this site. We have already taken steps to ensure that chat is beyond their reach now. From today onwards, we will also moderate any new members who join. This means that the new members will NOT be able to put any posts or join the chat unless one of the admins manually check their profiles and allow them to become regular members first. Even though this will put a much bigger burden on us admins, I think that it will make the member's experience far better as we will be filtering out a lot of filth before it gets to you.
This option may be turned off after some time if we feel that such futile attempts have died down.
Thanks all for your support!
