I get quite a few emails from newly registered users, basically they all boil down to this:
"Why can't I post?!?!"
"I registered, but I got an email saying that my account was deleted due to NO PROFILE INFO"
"I have to take the ASTB tomorrow, hurry up and approve my account so I can download the gouge and take the test!"
We get a hundred or so new registrations a day, about 90% of which are from SPAMMERS, bots, or other sources. There are a variety of methods to screen them out, but the most effective is the manual approval of each new registration. This takes a little bit of time to weed through all the registrations, and determine which are bots/spammers, and which aren't.
At the time of registration, there is a page that asks you to update your profile info so we can differentiate you from the bots/spammers and approve your account. Specifically this is what's shown at registration:
It is as simple as that. Myself and the other two Admins are busy people with reals jobs (ok, at least they have real jobs!) in the outside world, and we take a day or two to get around to sorting through new registrations. Please be patient.

Thanks for registering, and welcome to Air Warriors!
Due to the high number of spam bots and fake account registrations that are created, there is one more step to finalize your registration so you can begin posting and accessing any of the files or attachments in the posts.
PROVIDE SOME PROFILE INFO. Fill in your profile with some basic information on why you are joining the website, such as hobbies, background, aspiration, etc. Click on this link to open your profile field and update it:
https://www.airwarriors.com/community/index.php?account/
When that is completed, an admin will manually approve your account. Accounts with unverified email, and with no profile information will be deleted. If you have any questions, use the website contact form to email the admin.
For more information and background on this, you can visit this thread:

Thanks,

If you leave a blank profile, we will DELETE your new registration.
