I've been really annoyed with spammers joining the forum to post messages about cell phones, meds, and porn. Tira and I have been able to delete the messages quickly, and hopefully you've not even seen them. There is an army of forum spammers out there, and I want the Cafe to be a safe, clean, family environment.

As of yesterday, all messages posted by members with less than 3 total posts will go into a moderation queue. What this means is that the first three posts must be approved by a moderator or administrator before they appear in the Cafe. After three approved posts members can post messages as usual without restriction. Regardless of how long you've been a member here, if you have made less than three posts, your posts will be placed into the moderation queue for validation.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. / ~Sam

That is a good idea Sam

Steve and I have been having the same problem over on the Lindsay forum.

Great idea Sam. I did see one of those posts and thought it rude of the spammer.
