I bought an escort zx2 and was trying to join the forum called teamzx2.com and when I joined it saiD I'll need a moderators approval. And then this morning I get an e-mail saying my account wasn't approved cause I didn't meet the requirements? What do they base this on? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I mean what do I have to do to be able to join? Write a letter, 3 fords of identification? I don't understand how they make that decision.

I've been denied at a few forums because I don't have an ISP email address.

Here lately, people are trying so hard to filter out the spam, that potential members are getting denied. It sucks, and counterproductive.

Good thing this wasn't posted in Terminator Talk, the thread would've been a 20 page long shit storm by now. :D

I wasn't approved for a Cadillac forum a while back because i had a "free" email adress and they were trying to block spammers.

look, you simply have to realize that Escort owners dont mess around, there are millions of them that love their car and there isnt enough room on the forums for everyone.

I get solicited to join forums. The oddest was a Dr. Laura forum.

use a real email account to gain access.

all the DSM sites i know require real email accounts (not hotmail/gmail) to gain access to make it harder for spammers//scammers. I usually use my dads SBCyahoo account for this.
