    Is there any way to make it much much more time consuming for anyone "new member" to post here? The spam garbage are increasing day by day.

    I know on some forums that new members with less than a set number of posts have their first five to ten posts approved by a moderator...it stops spam ads dead.

    Whatever its just an opinion.

    The sudden appearance of "New User Approval Forum" tells me they're already working on it.

    Looks like the first test was successful....

    Test
    "Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

    It is a nightmare for the Mods too.

    No easy way around it. Manually approving posts could be equally as time consuming for us as just deleting the spam in the first place.

    Thanks for all the support in these trying times, it is appreciated!

    Cheers, Ade.

    Like the "Approve me" option now, like the proverbial fly paper it appears to be catching the pesky blighters!!
