registering on teamswift.net

I'm trying to post some of my Metro issues on the teamswift.net website. I went through the registration process and now I wait for administrator approval. It's supposed to come via e-mail, but its been about 4 days and no word. Has anyone else had issues with the teamswift website?

Same problem here.

The longest it took me to get an admin email was 10 days from another forum. The fact that there are two of you with the same problem probably means the admin is occupied at the moment.

Good things come to those who wait. :smokin:

PS: I waited an hour the other day at a DMV in Newport, Vt, a city of about 5000. I'm still waiting for the good thing. :rolleyes:

I just got the following email regarding my registration:

Hallo sbiddle,

Your account on "TeamSwift" has been removed by a administrator, this is done according to the site account policy probably due to inactivity.

If you wish to be a active part of our comunity again, then please re-register using this link:

Thanks, The Management


I replied with a question of why this is happening but I don't suspect I'm an isolated case.

I sent a message to one of the admins there and here is the reply I got:

If the profiles aren't filled out, or the users are from AOL the accounts are deleted due to all the problems we've had with spam
Hope this helps

I sent a message to one of the admins there and here is the reply I got:


Hope this helps

I don't think that's the issue here, but just in case, I've re-registered and filled out all the fields. I don't use AOL either. I hope this works. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for the help!

No problem friend.

I sent a link to this page in that message but judging from the reply, I'm not sure the admin looked at your specific case.

Keep trying though. There's plenty of help here but hey, the more the merrier.

I re-registered and now I'm all set on Teamswift. Thanks for your help.

Great! I knew the system wasn't that picky.... They accepted me. :grinyes:

Ah, come on guys! What email domain did you use? That is the problem with the teamswift.net forum and the million dollar question at hand. The teamswift.net forum automatically blocks AOL, AIM, hotmail, & my ISP's mail domain: RR (Road Runner). It has absolutely nothing to do with the "profile" because I have tried everything I can think of. As per the profile, how do you fill it out if you can not log in? If they are talking about filling out all the questions when you register, well I did that!

I have not yet been able to find an alternative email domain to use for registering with this forum. The problem, as previously stated, is the email domain that is used when attempting to register. This forum robotically rejects about 95% of all new accounts. I know this from looking at the list of new members and seeing the new accounts being flushed from the system. I have been watching this phenomenon for several months. It is plainly obvious that the teamswift forum is completely ridiculous with thier spam controls!

I apologize to all who read this. No disrespect intended. I am highly aggravated with my repetitive failed attempts to join the teamswift forum and I am at my wits end!

Thank you in advance for any help provided. Sincerely, Shimaze

Can't wait to see how long this thread lasts. HA! The MODs must be getting lazy about their censorship duties. Pft. Or maybe they don't care because they know we can't register there anyhow!!

Yeah I've had the same problem with teamswift. F'em.

Hmm, I don't see why it shouldn't last at least for a while. I've seen reference made to teamswift before. I like to think the forums are complementary to each other. :popcorn:

Shimaze check your pm. Let us know how it goes. :comprage1

I have contacted the mod several times and I gotten several replies. He has said that my @cinci.rr.com, @aol.com, @aim, @gmail, & @hotmail.com are all blocked. I have asked the mod what email address I can use and I have not recieved a reply. If I knew of an email domain that someone used to registar, then I could try to get an account on that domain. This issue is getting critical becuase I am about to do the rebuild on the trans & replace the clutch on my '96 Geo and I would like to ask some questions and get answers. Thanks, Shimaze

Hi Shimaze,

I registered there using my Hotmail account and that's where I get my notifications from the forum so I don't understand why it's blocked.

Perhaps you could try a Yahoo account? It may be that you'll have to try again and again but that's probably what you've been doing.

Well, I tried the Yahoo! account. We'll have to wait & see. I am keeping my fingers crossed and saying my prayers. Maybe the teamswift gods will bless me :-)

Just out of curiosity, what browser are you using to register with?

If you're using Firefox, try using Internet Explorer.

Good luck!

Ah, this is getting ridicules!!! I finally received an email stating that my account, “metro maniac” has been activated, but I still can not log on. The strange thing is that I was able to make a profile for this account and it is an old name that I tried, was unable to get to work and I then forgot about. I some how managed to create a profile for “metro maniac”. In doing this, I must have changed my password and/or email address. This is the first time I have been able to create a profile and I do not understand how I was able to do this. After creating a profile for “metro manic”, I have made repeated attempts to create another profile and/or modify another username that I have tried in the past, but I have not been able to make another profile.

This is so disappointing and such a tragedy. To get the email I have been seeking for several months and then only to find that I can not log on. This quest has been going on for months now and I am having physical & emotional stress problems because of the difficulties relating to joining this forum. It makes me angry and unable to comprehend how teamswift.net mods think of themselves as above and beyond what is commonly accepted as spam controls and block out email domains and/or make it difficult to join the forum. I am a member of this forum as well as several other forums and I have never ever seen such non-sense.

Just don’t know about this teamswift.net stuff …don’t know if it worth it, Shimaze.

PS> I am using Explorer 7.0

I sent a message to one of the other mods.

I've checked the member list and your username metro maniac is listed. It seems to match your profile except that the location is Toronto.

Maybe what you should do is go to the log in page and click on the "lost password" link and reset it.

Also, you might have a link in your email that you need to click on to activate the account.

But don't stress out so much friend. It sounds like progress is being made here. :smokin:

Way, I appreciate your help, I really do.

I tried to reset my password, but when I created the profile for “maxium metro”, it deactivated my account. When I try to reset my password, I get this message:

“Sorry, but your password cannot be retrieved because your account is currently inactive. Please contact the forum administrator for more information”

Unfortunately, I changed to the email domain from hotmail to inbox.com. I have not received a reply on inbox.com. Knowing my bad luck, inbox.com is a banned domain. If inbox.com is banned, I may have lost my one & only chance to be a part of teamswift.net. I have checked my mail at inbox.com and I do not have any messages from teamswift.net. The reply at hotmail.com I have that activated “maxium metro” said this:

“Hello maxium metro, Your account on "TeamSwift" has now been activated, you may login using the username and password you received in a previous email. -- Thanks, The Management”

There was no activation link, or any keys or codes to use.

I will wait for a message to appear at inbox.com, but I don’t think I will get one because the auto messages from the teamswift.net usually appear immediately. The name I want to use is: “shimaze” I registered tonight, (10/27) with this name and I used hotmail and I did get the welcome auto reply. This name shows up in the list of new members. I will try to create a profile for Shimaze, but I do not know how I did it for maxium metro. I will keep checking my hotmail account and I will keep trying to create a profile for “shimaze”, plus I’ll keep an eye on inbox.com to see if I get any thing from teamswift.net

What I have learned so far is that it appears as if hotmail is the only one to use. And I am not sure, but it seems as if you have to create a profile before the account will work and before you get a confirmation message that the account has been activated. It may take awhile before a profile can be created after the account is first registered. It is obvious that almost every one has trouble joining teamswift.net. I look everyday at the list of new members and see that between 10 to 20 people try to join, but every couple of days the list of new members is flushed and only a handful remain.

I’ll keep trying to join! Again, thanks for your help, Shimaze

PS> Thanks for sending a message to one of the other mods. The reason my location is Toronto Canada is because the forum is predominantly Canadian and I thought it would help. I have also used Seattle Washington because this is where one of the mods is from. I thought the mod would hook me up if he knew one of his hometown boys wanted to join the forum. But that didn’t work! :uhoh:

Ok I just sent you a pm under the username Shimaze.

Correction, I got accepted under the name of "maxium metro", not "metro maniac" To set the record straight, I wish to join teamswift.net using the screen name “shimaze”, the other two were just experiments. Sorry the confusion. Thanks, Shimaze

Here is graphical list my efforts

OK, here is the real deal!!! If you want the privilage of joining teamswift.net you need to use inbox.com! You can create a free email account at www.inbox.com (http://www.inbox.com) just like you do at gmail, hotmail, or aol/aim. The mod gods do not have inbox.com blocked. If this worked for me, anyone can do it! Thanks to everyone for your help! Sincerly, Shimaze

Kudos for your diligence, shimaze. Thank you for posting your findings. I think I will return the snobbery, however, and refuse to register there to spite them. So there! :flipa:
