No harm done. Plus, it was instrumental in getting the issue voiced here, like it or not...

But these dummy accounts in general can cause more damage than good.

Edit: Wrong word!

Administration tell me what all this? face-palm

I think you'd see things differently if you had to be the person to go through and clean up the spam problems we had. Yes, it's a non-simple procedure to sign up for the site. Yes, it's time consuming and annoying. It's also time consuming and annoying to handle spam problems for a site that has no budget. As I say frequently, this is a site of volunteers and the owner is not getting paid to cleanup spam nor am I. We don't have the ability to take care of these issues in a heuristic way so this was the best we could do for a difficult situation created by ongoing spammers.

i took advantage of "bug me not" service

Given that anyone can use that to post anything, I have to ban that username.

IMHO, expanding "TPFC" to "The Portable Freeware Collection" in the questions is a good idea.

I'll run through the registration process again and make sure that it's not too painful.
