Just letting you know that I have sent a message to Raritiescoinlover last night at around 9.30 asking for confirmation that he/she is not a spammer. The IP resolves to Malaysia and comes up on a few of the IP Blacklists I check newbies on. I gave them 72 hrs to get back to me.
My IP even comes up on 1 or 2 of the sites, so I don't think it's fair to just deny membership on that basis.
I don't have a problem with you accepting their membership Nancy.
OK. Done! :angel:
I trust your judgement Nancy you're doing a brilliant job.
Looks like he's been posting over at CCF:

I want to comment that Shanew's MS68 must be an APCGS grading but I'll be good.
Well, Jeff and I have come to the conclusion that, despite his protestations on CCF and to trout, Shane is in fact APCGS. He has several Ebay ID's, and the location of 1 of them is very close to APCGS in Port Macquarie.
He likes to put people off his scent, by claiming to live in Qld, but as I told Jeff, Shane has more smokes and mirrors than Houdini ever had.
Just letting you know that I have sent a message to new applicant geko2012 this morning. I actually deleted him/her yesterday, but is back again today, so I am giving them 48 hrs to get back to me and prove they are not a spammer.
Just heard back from him, he's in.
You're doing a great job Nancy.
Yep...she always does.
Re the latest applicant: aussie1984.
I've sent her an email requesting confirmation that she wants to join TACF. Her IP comes up on a couple Blacklists, so I want to make sure she's genuine.
BTW Mark, I didn't get a forum email advising that there was a new applicant, just noticed her on the bottom of the Front page. :dontknow:
That's a bit odd. Is it in your spam folder?

Fraid not :angel:
aussie1984 is in. Heard back from her.
I got the email and you are on that recipient list Nancy. Strange.

I definitely didn't receive any message from the forum, can't think what might be wrong. :scratch_one-s_head:
Latest applicant has been contacted, as the IP does come up on 2 blacklists. I feel he will be OK though, as the IP resolves to Buderim, Qld.
I got my message this time.
Had to send an email via my private system, as no option in the forum for either email or PM? A bit odd.

Be careful....just because it says Buderim does not mean it is so. Could be hacked and that is why it is in the blacklists. I know I would not take a chance.

If he/she sends me unlimited supplies of chocolate coated ginger you can approve their membership.

No worries, if I don't hear back from him, he's gone!
Nancy FYI Oh My Florin asked to change his userid to his new business name. I suggested he start a new id which he has done Royal Numismatics and I have activated this morning.
OK, thanks PPh. I did send him a 'standard application to Forum message', but good to know who's who. :good:
