I have found this "a moderator must approve your message" thing very annoying, surely it takes more time to approve all the posts than to just delete and ban spam bots or whatever the problem behind this system was?

No actually the inverse is true :)
Hey,
Many large forums do this, for the first 10 - 20 posts to check wether you're here to spam, annoy, bully etc and then they can approve you. I mean, letting a spammer onto the forums is like letting a terrorist into America.
It's miles better, you don't get random accounts signing up advertising their company or others spamming the forum with porn.
Speaking of this, can mine end now. MODs are sooo slow are sorting it.
The moderators are getting quicker because before, not all the moderators had the correct permissions.
Trust me guys, we're all working our butts off ; )
I'm refreshing them like every 2 minutes... : P
Ill make more posts just for you as your enjoying it so much :)
Thanks for clearing that up guys, how long until I can post without having to be approved though? I couldn't find it in the FAQs.
Nope, still needs approval and I've used the search box on the FAQs and nothing shows up about it :(
Im sure more then 15 have been done.
Some places I can post instantly (like the debates section) but others still need to be approved and I've got nearly 40 posts now :s
Hmm I origninally came up witgh this idera, and you should be able to post normally at 15 posts.
But yeh, it has stopped spammers, which in the morning used to be REALLY annoying!
There was actually a spam, bot post yesterday from a guy with 1 post...
you should do 7 posts instead of 15.
Finally, I thought it would never end :eusa_wall
Could I get my approval status removed too then? :P
Seems theres an issue with the system promoting people.. I'll look into it.
I'm at 20 posts, yet still awaiting approval.
I'm still not promoted, so there must be :S
