A great question! All registrations are approved by me, as I don't wish for our wonderfully tight-knit community to be compromised by spammers, disruptive people etc. I will of course consider anybody who registers, but here are a few things that will definitely secure you a place on the forum:
1. Having previously been a member of Lady Rock (please use the same username you used on Lady Rock to apply, even if it's just for the registration process - you can change your username later).
2. Being suggested by a member - I will be informed by members if they have suggested anybody, so don't worry, if you apply through recommendation you should be accepted quite quickly.
If you don't fulfil either of the above criteria, I may be more reluctant to accept you. This isn't being elitist, it's for the security of our members who feel safe in what they can discuss here. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
