Action Requited (Step 3)

[Duke]

I'm looking for a little feedback on our New User Registration Nomenclature in order to make it more obvious what is and isn't acceptable here. I've endeavored to make all information as complete as possible without making it too confusing but it's not easy given the limited space available and the knowledge that most people won't read anything they have to scroll to.

Any and all suggestions will be considered should you deem it necessary to implement changes. Please note though that my aim is to provide as much information in as little space as possible.

Forum abuse by new users is out of control and as such, the staff is spending more and more time being politically correct to new users who's only goal is to exploit this site for it's page rank or backlinking value. While the staff is here to keep the forum friendly and safe for all our members/guests, their not here to coddle users who's only intent is to promote themselves or abuse the forum software.

Following is what each New Member will read (in order) throughout the registration process:
