Changes to "Newly Registered Users" forum group

by mezzodrinker » 12 Jun 2018, 19:52

Hi all,

Following the recent change of the captcha provider we have seen a steep increase in spam activity on this forum, due to which we have now implemented some changes to the "Newly Registered Users" forum group which you are a part of as long as you haven't reached a certain number of (approved) posts.

These changes pretty much only make it so that users who are part of the Newly Registered Users group have to have their posts approved by a moderator. This way, we can keep the spamming under control while still allowing new (legit) users to write new posts. Of course this doesn't ensure that no spammers make it through this "trial" of sorts, but at least we can keep most of the automated ones at bay.

If you as a regular user are affected by any of these changes, please notify us by replying to this topic. Also, if you have any questions, please do feel free to contact us either via this topic, email or the "Contact Us" form.
