Hello all,

I made 2 new threads today in the "Intro/Help" forum, and I noticed they said they required moderation.  I had this when i first registered, but after awhile it went away...  IS there a reason it's back?  I have posted a bunch of threads, but i don't think i have made many lately.  

Just curious what's going on, thanks.

I have been experiencing this issue as well. I have never had problems posting threads before now.

I created a thread yesterday morning and it just disappeared.  I guess that's what happened to it?  Where is the moderator?

We had a huge attack of spam from the Philippines, dozen of profiles posting hundreds of messages, so some locking down happened. New members are initially restricted to posting in the Introductions forum, so all the spam ended up there.  The quickest way to stop the spam was to make all new threads in that forum moderated.

Spammers have to go and ruin everything.  How many posts do I have to make before I can post to other forums?

No worries. Thanks for the update. I've helped moderate forums before and spambots were always a problem.
