......is it before you're trusted enough to be able to post on this forum without your posts being checked over first? Really fustrating!!!

<mod> after 6 posts </mod>

....and when can I be given access to modify my profile?? No idea why i dont have access as yet....suppose it stops me writing liablous lie about myself and liaisons with goats and the like!!

<mod> try reading the T & C's</mod>

And you wonder why this is system is in place LOL.

Assumed the system was in place to stop spam but thansk for the comment.

The latter part of the post was somewhat tongue in cheek.....for the record, I have never engaged in any activity I'm ashamed of with goats. Pigs and dogs maybe, but thats an entirely different story!

Admin, could you not place captcha in the new post page for folk under 10 posts rather than the moderation stuff?

There is a trend of folk saying this pisses them off and we do like fresh meat in general.

I have to agree

you only have to look at at evenings posts to see how dead the site has become.

New posters are put off

There's a reasonable amount of spammers that you don't get to see, but I guess we could scrape them off once they appear.

I'll draw admin's attention to your request.

Bear in mind that everyone appears busy/on holiday at the moment and I think I'm the only one holding the fort, and since I'm in contract, I only get to approve posts 2 or 3 times a day.*

Spam is not the issue, it can be dealt with.

The problem that has been experienced in the past is that staff from one service provider will pose as disgruntled customers of their competitors, that's what needs to be weeded out.

That can still be dealt with if people report said posts. We could then review reported new posts and deal with them.

But I must admit it is quicker to look at the moderator queue than crawl through all the forums retrospectively just in case something has got through.

The regulars would be expected to report dodgy posts more often with an open house policy.
