A good friend of mine (LeVitaN) tried to register at MBH, and his registration was denied by Adam.

Do we have cold war era rules here or there's some other problem?

Shame on you if you don't want serious people on forum ;)

Please read the rules at the top of the forum homepage. I adhere to them. I ask people to register and then give me a week to approve them. Some people fail to read the rules. Maybe they're just unserious, or too impatient. They register once, wonder why they're not immediately approved, and then register again, often under a different email or slightly different handle.

Every four or five days I sign on to the approve-applications part of this website and take a look. I approve the first application of every person who is not a spambot. I reject the second, third, and fourth application. I don't believe in giving any forum member multiple names. Is that OK with you? I hope so. I don't appreciate people who throw around the term "shame on you." It betrays ignorance, which is to say, premature judgment. If you've got a question, please just ask the question. Thanks.

LeVitaN sounds like spam. Levitra, etc. I get many of those. If I've mistakenly rejected somebody who chose a spam-like handle, I'd encourage them to reapply.

Adam,
How's that LeVitaN sounds like Levitra??? It is like saying that we are not going to call children doctors Pediatrician because it sounds like Pedophile. What about Levy, does it sounds like Levitra too?

Leonid, spammers frequently change one or two letters.

Pediatrician
Pedophile

LeVitaN
Levitra

Leonid: It's not just a question of spelling, but also of OrtHOgraPhy. In order to eVade sPaM filters, spammERS HavE a habit of slightly misspeLLinge certain words, or CapitaLizIng unexpecteD letters.

If e.e. cummings were alive, he'd be a spambot.

LeViTan is actually an abbreviation from Leonid Vitalyevich Nagaev.

You'll dig him cos he's a professor at a university, and a very interesting interlocutor.

I have deleted a number of posts in this thread.

N.O.D.: Please excuse my French (and not to insult the French), but you must be completement fou. Translation: completely crazy. You were booted off this forum once for posting a list of fifty or sixty indictments against pedophiliac priests. I reinstated you. You've been pretty good since then. I've even offered you free admission to HCH 2011.

Now, suddenly, you post a wildly off-topic post that contains flagrantly offensive anti-homosexual interchange. What part of "Don't do that" don't you understand? My sense of humor about all this is gone. The next time you post anything--anything--on the subject of homosexuality, regardless of its content, you're gone, too.

It's only because I'm an extremely nice guy that I'm not icing you right now. Nobody would accuse me of being too harsh.
N.O.D.
