First post approval?
I was thinking to prevent spammers and such, is there a way to prevent someone's first post from showing up until a mod approves it? Then subsequent posts (after the first was approved) are normal in that they don't need approval.

that's a lot of work for our Highly Paid, under-staffed group of Moderators. ![Frown](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/frown.gif)
I think they should be allowed to post but maybe put some kind of check on their first THREAD. Or just hire moderators who are skilled in the ways of the Force.

^^^ true.

It seems overly labor intensive for the moderators to read each new member's first post when spam can already be easily ignored or reported.

Plus they have a subsection to make your first post so it's easier to see if you're just saying hi or spamming.

It's mostly for Canada...looking at their stats it says they have about 160,000 members. not sure about the history of attacks

Edit: Stupidity is also rampant there...someone just made a thread to ask what the weather will be like in NYC this weekend. So it seems like you can't prevent that.

realistically, how hard is this to implement? I don't know anything about how this forum works and the code behind it but could it be done? I know how to do basic coding. Basically the way I see it is this:
Well first you'd create a new sub forum (An Introduction one).
if post count = 0 then you can only start a thread in the Intro subforum.
Mods have to approve those new threads in there.
If it's approved, then post count = 1
if post count => 1 then regular privileges.

He's as bad as Can
Why not add Question & Answer Verification. They could even be based on the RX-8.
