Hello all!
If you are signed up to receive forum posts as emails, then you have probably noticed the aggressive amount of bots flooding the forum with spam recently. We apologize for all the noise - it hasn't been fun for us to clean up either!
Unfortunately, because of this, we have decided to require registration to be able to post in the user forum going forward. Previously anyone (even non-members) could post, and registration was a self-directed process. Now, we will require new participants to register to be able to post, and new members will have their posts moderated for an initial review period.
IMPORTANT NOTE for new registrants: be sure to include a response in the "Reason for joining" field of the registration form. Already since enabling mandatory registration today we have seen dozens of requests, many of which are obviously from spam accounts. Because of this, we ask that all legitimate registrants include SOME message in the reason that mentions the application. If you don't know what to write, simply write the full name of the application (and/or see the wiki for details)
While we have always aimed to keep the AtoM project and its resources as open as possible, we feel that this is the best way to keep the AtoM forum focused on the application and its community going forward, and to prevent the endless barrage of spam from drowning out serious topics.
If you were previously posting here without being a member, you can find general instructions on how to register on our updated wiki page, here:
Thank you in advance for your understanding, and again, apologies for the noise!
Cheers,
he / him
