Qlocal LOCKDOWN on new users

[steve]

Thanks to everyone reporting spam posts, people are using the site to get inbound links to other sites.

Now a daily occurance so I have made new users having to be moderated - by me, before being allowed to post.

I have also added a "Reason for Joining" on new registrations. Apologies if anyone needs to fill this in as well if updating your profile - just put in town name eg Southport ir whatever.

Should make it easier for me to spot spammers.

Reason for Joining ...
My name is Michael from India and will be posting links to crap ....

As if, but I might get some amusing ones
