I wonder if there is a way that posts by newcomers can be screened before they show up. Just to see if any new member is joining to truly be a voice in the community here or if they just happened across the forum and are being a bother of sorts?

There is a feature to have moderation for posts, which means they have to be approved by a mod, I wonder if it can be turned on for just one group. Have a new user group that you have to have so many posts to earn your way to "full "membership, basically prove you are not a troll or spammer.

We don't want to have to approve EVERY post.

I hope it's not anything that I've said that's prompted this?
Funny how views differ from person to person, no need to ban people you don't agree with though hey!

No, it was not because of you or Happy. Someone came online earlier and made some offensive comments. It is good to have you both here!

Gee thanks.

I feel so much better now.

It can be pretty horrid when someone is abusive in a forum. Opinions can be given without any nastiness. Give the offender a virtual slap.............

Lovely to be here xxx
