Moderation Required
Posted: 22 Dec 2020, 06:36
As of 2021, due to spam bots getting more and more sophisticated, the first post made by a newly registered user must now be approved by a moderator before publication. Subsequent posts will not require moderation.
Existing forum members are welcome to apply for a Moderator role so that a multitude of members can approve new posts from new members.
Beware of spam bots that copy old posts from reddit (to be edited into spam later) as that kind of spam is virtually indistinguishable from real user posts.
Users with 0 posts are pruned regularly to delete sleeper spam bot accounts.
Please read How to Request Help. If you do not read How to Request Help then your post may be miss-identified and rejected as spam. (i.e. filebot -script fn:sysinfo output changing over time allows us to identify spam bots)
