Do you have the option to allow membership applications on a review basis, or even by invite only?


Unfortunately the system doesn't have a invite option. I would personally like that option the most.

It does have a review only method but the options were not very good. it basically just send the person reviewing a username and e-mail address and asks us to approve it or not.

Yesterday wasn't bad. we got 2 new members and 6 spammers that I removed. not perfect but a far cry from the 750 accounts per day down to 6.

We just made the account activation only possible by reply to the e-mail sent out. We had alternate activation previously because a number of members had advised that didn't get the activation e-mail, but truthfully, I still had a couple of people ask me for the activation e-mail even when we didn't use them thru the contact us link

I was thinking of maybe having new membership days. or something like that if keeping them open doesn't work.

But we will see and monitor.
