By popular demand, some things about this forum need to change:
1) registration should not need to be confirmed by an administrator
2) why are we checking whether registrants are over 13?
3) some forum topics/posts have superfluous names-- remove all unnecessary words (for example, repeats)
We want people to participate in this forum. That will never happen while the forum is as restrictive and barricaded as it is now.
I answer to your questions sequentially.
1) Every registration has to go through an administrator for control against unscrupulous entries. The reason why are you not seeing spams or unwanted posts is due control over registration. When ever a new request comes, the administrator confirms its genuiness. If there is no such control then there would be deluge of spam mails.
2) The administrator has no control on this.It is by the Forum host.
3) Can you be more specific.
4) Any professional forum has to have some control to monitor the nature of posts.This becomes necessary in case if people start posting previous qualifier exam papers, that is strictly prohibited by the department.
5) Agree with you that some sections need to be deleted as it will carry no use.
