TOPIC: New Members - Please read

To all new members,

Just an FYI that your first three posts on Truth Zone will need to be approved by a moderator before appearing on the board.

This is an anti-spam measure that we have had to reluctantly introduce due to advertisers and link spammers creating a forum account here and then subsequently abusing the forum.

After your third post has been approved, your account will function normally and posts will appear soon as they are submitted.

regards,

Truth Zone Forum.

Spot on

Well, I guess that explains that, but wouldn't it be possible to inform the new user of that when they post their first three messages? As it is, I posted the same message several times because I thought it wasn't working.

Hello OpenMind, welcome to the forum.

Apologies for the delay in approving your first posts, you should be good to go now, posts you submit from now on will go straight up on the forum now.

You make a good point about informing new users somehow directly through the forum interface, im not sure exactly how to make that happen from a technical point of view but perhaps I could add a note in the registration process. I will have a think about doing something to better inform new users and then see what is possible with the forum we have.

An update and reminder that new members need to make a couple of posts in The Lounge or Twilight Zone categories.

These first couple posts need to be approved by a mod before they show... once approved, newbies can post freely on the board.

Again it is an anti-spam measure put in place to stop spammers making a mess of the place.

I suggest new members make a post or two in the newbie thread...
