New members will be required to have validation before they can post. Once they get the validation, they won\'t have to revalidate.

The hope is this will work as a SPAM filter. The Spambots will not be able to get the validation, thus not be able to make that first post.

Don\'t recall that one Shaz although there was a spate of the spammers resurecting old threads to put their spam in.
