We have introduced a new group where new registered users a placed into. This group is "under moderation" therefore all new posts (until they have 15 moderated posts) must be approved by the moderation team before they are posted. This is to keep spammers and trollers off the forum as they seem to enjoy the freedom of making new accounts. Obviously this won't stop those that are very determined but it will help us catch many of them a lot faster.
When a new member joins are they aware of being under moderation, and if they are how are they advised?
It's the quality of your posts that count, not the quantity!
Dignity does not consist in possessing honours, but in deserving them.
I'm not too sure how all this works. Yesterday a member from the autoban last came back on a new account and all his posts were instantly approved. :SWe have introduced a new group where new registered users a placed into.

I'll bring that up with MAD, I don't know the mechanics of it. The first suggestion that comes to mind would be an automated PM.We have introduced a new group where new registered users a placed into.

I would agree this needs looking at. Having not been a new member for a long time I have to assume that they get a welcome pm so this could be altered to include the new post approval procedures?We have introduced a new group where new registered users a placed into.

I think they get a Welcome E-mail too, not too sure about that so maybe it could be in there.
Excellent point. As catzsy said, updating the welcome PM would be the best route to take hereWe have introduced a new group where new registered users a placed into.
