Post Moderation
« on: May 19, 2010, 09:46:46 PM »
I'm experimenting with a new feature known as "post moderation" which basically means that Newbies will have all posts approved prior to posting.  This should not affect Hackensack Now Regulars.  After 10 posts, Newbies become Regulars and will no longer need posts approved. 

I'm doing this so that I can open the door to more new registrants.  85% of all new registrants are spammers but it is very difficult to tell who is legit.  Recently, I inadvertently denied access to two registrants guessing (wrongly) that they were spammers.  I don't want to be surprised by posted pornography, hate speech, or worse: spam.

Enabling post moderation will help me separate spammers from legitimate posters.  In the end, I'm hopeful that we will get more participation because of it. 

If you have any trouble posting, please let me know.
