After so much attempts to keep the forum open for guests, we are finding out this may not be the best way to manage this forum.

Lately, there are lots of spams by guests. It is keeping News, Info and I busy deleting messages.

To protect this site from further spamming, we decide to clamp it down. While the guests are free to browse and read messages, only registered users will be allowed to post and reply.

Hopefully, this will cut down the amount of spams the forum is receiving lately.

Thanks for your understanding!

FYI: Registration is absolutely hassle free. But we will start to ban users if they start abusing the system.

News suggested we could leave Communicate with Tony open for all, so I made that change. I think that's a reasonable alternative for folks who prefer not to register to write to Tony.

Last night, I saw spam at the Communicate with Tony...
I think you're leaving room for them to continue to do it.

I agree with Lemonberry, I think we should not be so good with those ill mannered people leaving spams and problems for us.

Anyway here is a big thanks to Sandy, Info, News and all for keeping this site so exciting and fun.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORKS, GIRLS.

Thanks for the feedback. News also alerted me the problem with leaving communication forum open. So we decide to limit it to registered user only.

Thanks everyone for putting up with the spammers. Enjoy your stay here!

Team - Info, News, Sandy.

The thought of leaving "Communicate with Tony" section opened for all visitors to drop a quick line to Tony was a good idea. However, the idea crumbled down when you witnessed string of spams the morning after which made you mad.

I guess Tony fans have to register to give a quick shout out to him after all.
