Limit post for New members.

[lordroel]

I was wondering if it is posabile for new member to have their first post monitored and approved before they are able to post anything as a security measures that they do not spam the entire forum as what happened to my forum well a new member posted more then 200+ of very graphic nature that brought down my forum for more then halve a day.

Using one or both of these plugins will do the trick!

Thank i will try them out.

You'll like the Quarantine plug-in, lordroel. That will allow you to read every post of a new member before you allow that post to be seen by the reading public.

I am still working on how to get it to work as i want it to, but i will figure it out, at least it gives me the possibility to limit new members number of post until i can be sure they are members and not spammers.

Once you figure it out, I think you'll be pleased. It's the best defense against spammers, particularly if that issue has already occurred.

Have tested it using a fake member and it looks good, but some question i still have.

If a new member post more then the Quarantine number of post i have entered, will those post appear on the forum or will the also be Quarantined

Can i enter so all new members who join the forum are Quarantine and not have to do it manually.

lordroel , those questions are best answered by the plugins' creator, Wormopolis .

On the links I provided above, when you click on either of the two plugins, there is a help link. Click on that help link and you can address your inquiries there to the plugin's author.

If the answers aren't there, lordroel , you can ask your own questions, just as you can on this support board. That's why the plugin creators' make their help threads.

I think with the speed that members are coming to my forum the manual settings will do for now but if it becomes more i can look more into the setting it for all new members,
