New forum registration procedures

[Mother]

Greetings,

After a spam shower that took place some days ago, new registered users will have a waiting period of 3 days before they can post new threads on any other forum than the Newbie Area.

The forum stats show we have 139 users right now in this limbo state, so be patient. Most spammers use automated or semi-automated systems to deliver their crap, but won't wait around for a few days until they are allowed to post.

We can still have automated spam in the Newbie Area, but at least it will be easier to prune. Collaboration from members is requested, please report spam threads to the moderators so their reaction time can be better.

May the force be with you all,

Mother
