Due to moderated, restricted, and removed members popping up with multiple sleeper (sock) accounts and causing problems, HMFs will be going through the member list and any member whose account is idle, which includes any member account that is not actively posting on the site - regardless of whether the account is being logged in to or not, will lose access to the main forums.

The loss of access can easily be avoided by simply interacting on the forums and contributing content - actively posting - and not allowing your account to be idle. 

Effective immediately, HMFs may no longer accept connections from IP addresses which no do not have reverse-DNS (PTR records) assigned.

HMFs appreciates our loyal members understanding as HMFs finds solutions to deal with those causing the problems.

Thank you,

HMFs does not allow members who sign up and don't post, or let their accounts go inactive or sit idle to have access to the main forums.

Any member whose account is idle, which includes any member account that is not actively posting on the site - regardless of whether the account is being logged in to or not, will lose access to the main forums.

Due to people continually complaining about the policies on idle accounts being vague and then demanding to know in hard numbers how often they must participate, HMFs has been pushed into setting these hard numbers that apply to the policy on idle accounts:

New registrants who do not activate their account and participate within 3 days will lose access to the main forums.

Members who are logging in but go 5 days without participating will lose access to the main forums.

Members who haven't logged in for 14 days will lose access to the main forums.



HMFs would like to make the point that the loss of access can easily be avoided by simply interacting on the forums and contributing content - actively participating - and not allowing your account to be idle.

If you've drifted off and allowed your account to go idle, it's easy to get your access reinstated. E-mail administration at: admin@dailynuisanceproductions.com

An active forum starts with you, so members whose access has been restored and don't immediately participate will be denied complete access to any of the forums.

Remember, HMF's rules are simple to follow. The main things are: 1) don't let your account go idle; 2) don't be a nuisance by advertising, spamming, or trolling etc.; 3) don't comment on or discuss publicly anything that has to do with the forum or administration.
