We've had spammer issues of late.
Typically spammers will sign up and start posting links to dubious websites straight away.
Therefore we have put a simple measure in place to deal with problem:
Going forward, posts from new members will be moderated if they include a link.
(a "new member" is defined by post count)
Therefore, if a new member signs up, and immediately posts a link, that post will go into the moderation queue.
Such posts will need to be moderated/released before showing up on the forum.
It is possible new (legit) members may post up links and therefore have to wait for moderators.
However, we'll see how this works and fine tune as required.
Thanks
