you missed my point entirely. I am suggesting a waiting period to get into the lounge for new members. it seems the lounge attracts the most spam and someone who has an axe to grind can quickly make a bunch of "socks" or alternate online id's and spam the forum like mad. if, on the other hand, there is a waiting period, most people get the anger out of their system by the time they have gotten over the waiting period. as I said earlier, since you obviously didn't read the thread, there is a waiting period for getting married after obtaining a marriage license, a waiting period for purchasing a firearm, certainly a small waiting period could be considered for membership in the lounge. even a 3 day wait would keep *most* angry people with issues from spamming up the place like we saw recently. those that are holding onto issues beyond that period of time have even bigger issues and probably shouldn't be playing in the cyber pool anyway
