Spam and changes to approval of new users into the forum

Hello all,

We strive to make this forum a welcoming space for all Crossref members and users. Unfortunately, over the last 24 hours, we have been inundated with spam - nearly 2000 posts!

Because of that, we’re requiring that all new users in the forum go through a reviewal process. For now, once you sign up, our team will review your request for sign up and grant you access, as long as you’re not clearly a spammer. We block all spammers, but the process to review spam users and their posts is tedious.

For existing users, please continue to post and engage with one another!
