New Members Posts

[Samishlol]

I was just thinking about when new members post. Wouldn't it just easyer to not have their posts moderated? It saves alot of time for the Super Moderators?

It would, there were alot of bots that used to come on at night and post in certain threads etc and be a nightmare so they cant access it. Also is a deterrant for those who want to cause trouble

I think moderating posts by new members is a much more better way to combat spam, advertising and general rule-breaking compared to dealing with them once they're already posted. It's not really difficult to approve posts/threads, so I wouldn't really think taking this system away would make it more easier for moderators. On the contrary really. In addition, users now hardly see spam bots posting scam sites or advertising rubbish as the moderators wouldn't/shouldn't approve such posts/threads. Whereas if moderating new posts/threads was to be taken away, members of the forum would see these and may even possibly go onto the sites and whatever happens after that is anyones guess.

Btw, normal moderators also moderate threads/posts within their sections.

Edit: Time shouldn't be an issue when it comes to making the forum safer. And really that's the top priority for the moderation team.

Simple answer: No.

Yes it may tale a few hours for the Moderators and Super Moderators to approve them but if we didn't use the system the forum would get filled up with pointless and unwanted posts. Even spam bots, posts that lead onto keyloggers/viruses whatever else they post. So at the moment the current system is doing pretty well.

I thought he meant let normal mods approve them instead of just smods

They already do. Not instead though, alongside SM.

Easier? Yes. Better? No.

I think it does a good job keeping unwanted members off the forum. The only down side is it puts the 'good' people off from registering.

Since I came up with this idea, I guess I'll have an input.

It would be easier, but at the time when I thought of the idea, there were a lot of Bot's, some of which didn't get banend and posts removed until 4ish in the afternoon, as MOD's and SMOD's had work/education etc.

Now since the post moderation idea was implemented, virtually all the bots were wiped, as no one wants to have to actually post 15 times to get the chance to spam.

Anyway just my view

There was no need to say "i came up with this idea" that dose not matter, i don't see you thread being posted in? So i doubt you did
