    Default Suggest moderation of first post to block spam

    Would it be possible to set the forum rules so that all first posts by new members have to be moderated?
    (ie. reviewed by a moderator for authenticity)

    This would eliminate first time spammers from being able to post.
    (would make more work for moderators though)

    just a thought...

    You would be surprised at how many get banned daily.
    If you do not believe in MAGIC, Consider how currency has value simply by printing it, and is then traded for real assets.
    .
    Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, barter is the money of peasants - but debt is the money of slaves
    .
    There simply is no "Happy Spam" If you do it you will disappear from this forum.
