Re: Welcome to 2A Defenders
When you register, you will be placed in to a "holding pen" pending mod approval of your ID or first post. As soon as you are approved, your post(s) will appear on the site and your posts will then appear immediately after you make them and you are an active member. It was unfortunately necessary to ...

Re: Russian spambots
We have now gone to mod activated accounts. After you register successfully, your account is held in a holding area until a mod approves it. There is a way around that for paying members, so the spam posters now have to pay to post their spam.....

Re: Russian spambots
Sure - and as the site grows, the mods will have that as a duty. If you allow free email addresses (and we currently do) and self managed user account activation, there is going to be spam, which has only gotten worse over the years. The other alternative I'm considering is mod activated accounts ...

He won't see it because he is gone from here, but this post stays up for the benefit of other Russian spammers who decide to drop by. I hope they find a grave stone fitting for their crimes.

Re: Counter battery radar
The site has been getting traffic from Kiev today. On the speculation there is some interest all the way around, the site would support members of Ukraine's military posting here for questions and support regarding US military equipment.

Re: 2144658
The site allows the user community to have free email addresses unlike other sites. This allows spammers to register and post their spam. There are three strategies to deal with this: 1 Mods delete that junk from those who go through the effort to post it 2 Set a spam trap forum on the site the real ...

Re: Ideas to bring in new members.
One of the principles here is that people are free to and will use the sites they find useful and entertaining. There will be no prohibition on mentioning other sites (the limit being that if you register here for the sole purpose of promoting your commercial enterprise, that will get a hard look ...

Re: A suggestion
Here in the General Discussions I would envision having several communities of interest. This would be one of those communities. I propose a forum "The Armed Citizen" for the discussion of carry permits, defense ammo, courses, equipment and so to cover the topics you list. Is this acceptable to you?

Board Software Updated
This will probably be a quarterly occurrence. A new version of the board software has been released and installed, which also involves a database restructure. I hope this also solves a couple of issues with logins and features.

Had to Tighten Security
We had a spam account get activated, and I shut that down. I still want to allow the use of free email services, but that comes with some risks of dealing with user accounts that will have a short stay. As a rule, if you have problems with login, delete the cookies from this site, and let them be ...

Supporting the Site
This site is hosted by a small technology company dedicated to supporting the US Constitution. Therefore this site can not be deplatformed or have board policy shaped by the fear of having the infrastructure operating the site taking the site off the net. It will only go away if there is no interest ...
