For information: Anyone can apply to join the website; the applications are looked at to try to ascertain if they are real or spam, and mostly we spot spammers.
However Maris aka Stella made a reasonable application and was admitted; that proved to be a mistake.
Please ignore any messages from that person.
Thanks to those who have already contacted us.
We have deleted that person.
