Post Approval

Grumpy

Is it really necessary to require approval from a moderator on every post posted on the forum?

Why not make it for the first one or two posts only, seems rather annoying having to wait for a thread or post to be approved before you can see it...

    One of the reasons we setup a new forum (and have gone through three different forum software) is for spam and illicit comment moderation.

    We're not going to change the policy on post/thread moderation but we'll be dedicating more of an effort to keep up with approvals. IP.Board makes the process a lot more efficient and we're able to get notices sent to our mobiles which is a big plus.

    Then you should hire moderators, to check for spam. I would like to apply for that :D

    Have not had good experiences with moderators. We'll see how this goes for a while and if that's necessary.

    I must say that the post approval system is not the way to go, you should for the first 10 posts, but afterwards you should let a person post. If someone spams the forum someone can report it and it can dealt with, every user shouldn't have to suffer. That's my 2 cents.
