               @NWN_baba yaga
In lieu of your adolescent fantasy might I suggest that you go try auto-erotic asphyxiation?

               I have recently been granted access to approve those who wish to sign up for the Project Q forums.
I ask anyone who has not recieved a comfirmation e-mail please post the screen name you applied with and I will get you access.

We recieve an average of about 100 request or more each day, so please when you apply post your screen name here this will make it easier for me to weed out all the spammers. Please attempt to create a screen name similar to your one on these forums as it will speed up the process as well. In a week I will begin to weed out those I do not recognize in any way shape or form. If you applied before 2011 please humor me and reapply. Sorry I am new at this. Thanks in advance and hope to see you on the forum.

We currently have 28,000 unapproved signups so unless we know what usernames we're looking for to approve, it's something of a nightmare.

We had the same problem on the AME Forums. The few legit registrations we got were completely drowned out by a tsunami of spammers. The only way I was finally able to manage it was to turn account registration off altogether. Unfortunately that means that I have to create new member accounts by hand, but for me that actually ends up being easier than trying to sort through thousands of spam registrations.

BTW, for anyone who has to deal with Forum Spam, there's a good website I can recommend: StopForumSpam.com. Their database of known spammer email addresses is very useful. Whenever I have to check if someone's legit or not I just search for them there, and then delete them if I find any hits.

I use Mollom for all my little sites. Works decently, IMO.
