Sign up procedures. When you sign up you'll be sent an email containing a link which you need to click to confirm your registration. If you don't get the email either it has gone to your spam folder or you didn't enter your email address correctly.

I check every profile personally to help make the site a secure and friendly place and reduce spam. I usually do this within 24 hours. If you have any problems, feel free to contact me. Please note that due to the increase in spammers and robot submissions, you MUST mention something to do with Japan, Japanese culture and customs or even write a bit of Romaji to indicate that you are interested in Japanese culture. Failing to do so will mean your submission will be deleted and your ip address banned. If your previously approved profile does not contain references to Japan, please update it today.
