New Restrictions for New Members (under 5 posts)

[Chad]

Hello,

 

In order to mitigate spam a bit more, here are the new restrictions placed on new members who register (and all current members of the New Members group, which should be members with fewer than 5 posts):

1. New Registrations get put into the "New Members" Group automatically.
2. New Members must have their first post approved by a moderator before being able to post again. (this is only required for your first post)
3. New Members can NOT use the Private Message system (this is the new change as of this post)
4. New members automatically get moved into the "Members" group upon their 5th post in the Forums. This lifts the PM restriction as well.

 

Thanks for understanding!
