Due to the problems we are experiencing with spammers, we have temporarily introduced a feature which means that no new users can post until their account has been manually validated by an administrator or super-moderator

We hope to lift this restriction once we've convinced the current crew of Russian spammers to desist

Thanks

Good idea Selly just means you have a bit more work and the other Mods and the newbie cannot post probs right away, it is so unfair how a small amount of spammers waste things for others.

It's not a problem from our point of view. It's actually easier to delete users once they are in the moderation queue than dealing with them individually

Just a pain in the a$$ generally though!
