Hey there Peter,
does the software on this forum have the facility to prevent a newly created userid from posting a new thread immediately ?
You will no doubt have seen the 2 threads started by unlaranak earlier, which by the time you read this will have been purged I guess. I also noticed a few weeks back another userid created and posted a pile of cr*p also, which you thankfully purged. By preventing these cretins from posted immediately it might help stop any pollution occurring here, and may help in reducing administration work for yourself. Another idea in use in a number of other forums, is to have a section where new members are only permitted to post, and they have to introduce themselves. Until such time that another member has acknowledged that thread and said 'hello' back, then the new user is not permitted to start threads outside the "introduction" section. Of course it may not prevent them from creating junk in that "introduction" section but it confines such junk to one area only then.
Food for thought.
Cheers,
Russ
