In order to keep the riff raff and Obats of the world from spamming us we screen each membership request before approval. I personally run their IP address through a spam site to see if they have been registered as a spammer. If even one report of spamming is listed their request is summarily denied and their IP address banned. There is also an area for you to add a personal message as to why you want to join our group. The following is an example of how NOT to use that personal request.
If you want to be a smartass you need to wait until AFTER you have been approved. If this is your request it will be denied but I'm not banning your IP address so you can try again...

Whatever gateway in Windows they had locked was obscure and deprecated, and I couldn't even figure out how to get my brute force software to hook up to it. Luckily for me, he had never changed any settings so I just scraped his hdd and reinstalled. I told him no charge for family, but the third time he insisted I took the money and ran.
