The phrase referrs to: Mesta, Perle Reid Skirvin (Oct. 12, 1889 - Mar. 16, 1975), political hostess, diplomat, and advocate of women's rights


Because of her special style and prominence, Mesta, who was called "Madam Minister" by her staff, became the inspiration for the successful 1950 Broadway musical comedy, "Call Me Madam," a story about an American woman ambassador. The phrase "The Hostess with the Mostess'," from an Irving Berlin song in the show, provided a sobriquet that Mesta carried for the rest of her life. ("Perle Reid Skirvin Mesta."Dictionary of American Biography, Supplement 9: 1971-1975. Charles Scribner's Sons, 1994.)

It's to stop people becoming members, just for the sole purpose of spamming the boards with Promo's.
