    Default New Users Please Note

    Due to an increasing number of people joining, and spamming the boards with advertising links in their signatures, I have decided to revoke the privilege for new members.

    However, once a number of posts have been made, which show us you are not a spammer, you will will be automatically be moved to a new user group, with signature access re instated.

    It seems some new "spam" users are still managing to sign up and post advertising links in thier initial post.

    For this reason, Any new members posts are now being put into moderation ( meaning they wont appear on the site ) until they have been checked for content.

    If you have a low post count, you may also find your posts wont instantly appear, until checked.

    Regular Members should not have any Issues.

    Sorry for the inconvenience, but I'm sure you will appreciate, something has to be done.

    Sounds like a good idea. Just out of interest, how many posts will I need to make before my posts don't have to be reviewed by a mod before appearing on the forum?
