Forum spam & user registration - apologies

Once again, we are being heavily hit from one particular spammer in India which some of you may have noticed. I have tried to be vigilant and delete all these messages as quick as possible. 

We have a bunch of methods of dealing with this, including account pre-approvement. However I hate turning this on as it stops genuine new members being able to quickly post a message. New members are often newly diagnosed, or are having a problem they need help with so turning this on is a last resort.

This morning, I have worked with an external spam management agency to identify this individual and taken steps which I hope will help. I have also had to, unfortunately, block registration from some small parts of India.

If you are legitimately trying to register from India but are not able to, please use the "About us -> Contact us" menu at the top of this page to get in touch so we can help you register.

David.
