    Default Looks like spam bots are out....

    Is it possible to make some kind of change for 'new users' that their 'first posts' or so have to be checked by moderator before posting? After a certain amount get a yes, say 5 or so, then 'new user' can post normally.

    It's probably possible, but also probably really hard and restrictive to new members.

    Just report all the spam threads you see, and mods will clean them up.

    I know, it's annoying that we have to deal with the spam, but it is what it is.

    Perhaps more to the point, I doubt the mods want to have to authorize every new user to this site personally. That seems like it would get tedious and frustrating fast even with just one post.

    Did I not say that?

    *Reads my post*

    Huh. I thought that, or at least something like that, but I did indeed not say it.

    Yeah, that too.

    Sheriff: Please just report spam and go about your business. Making a thread like this or PMing a mod directly just adds to our workload.
