This is going out to all would-be new members of BKC.
In the recent months, we've been hit by a tidal wave of spam accounts. In the past, our security measures have weeded out 80-90% of all spam accounts, which made manually checking the rest a breeze.
Since April, we've been hit by 20+ fake accounts a day that require personal verification. This is on top of the usual garbage we have to sift through. Due to the overwhelming volume of crap, I'm afraid some new, legitimate accounts have slipped through the cracks.
If you've tried to sign up for an account recently and not gotten in, please email: admin (at) bumbleking .com with the subject line "BKC New Member" or something to that affect. We'll try to get you in ASAP.
You should still sign-up the old fashioned way. Send the email after you've signed up. You can either wait a few days or do it immediately after signing up.
We're sorry there has to be this extra step. Hopefully we'll find a mod for the forums that will allow us to fix the issue.
Thanks,
The BumbleStaff |
