If we did an image one, I don't think we would have that problem

I don't know if it is possible without consequences.

I’ve disabled PMs for new users. I would have preferred not to, but I think it’s more important to protect people from scammers than to make things convenient for new users.

Maybe we should require posts from new users to be checked by moderators before posting. But I am less certain about that. It’s basically the same amount of work for moderating the forums (maybe a bit more, but not much), but I think it would be quite a bit more inconvenient for actual new users, especially if they come here to get help with the game and then they don’t see their post. I feel like that would be frustrating.

just please dont disable me again

If there's anything the rest of us can do to help, let us know.

The google captcha is easy to setup and easy to pass.

What do they do if they can't send private messages?
