The curse of spam

Well sadly iDive Central has been inundated with people creating accounts simply to post spam on the site. So to combat this there are some new rules for creating an account.

First you must create an account through the normal process at the top left sidebar. This will send you an email with a password and a login link. Click on the link and set your password. At this point you will be an authenticated user. However, you will not be allowed to post anything on the site.

To post you must have your account bumped up to the rank of Diver, Dive Master or Dive Center Owner. To do this you must first fill in your user profile. Then you must contact the iDive Admin to request which account type you want.

Sorry to add all these extra hoops for you to jump through but we want this site to be useful to the diving community and not the spammers.
