New member registration and post restrictions?
 

I am wondering. Is there any new restrictions on new registered members?

S8Godzilla can´t post anything yet. Probably the same restrictions as chad951 had?

They do have restrictions, to stop spambots registering and filling the forum with junk.

That particular user however doesn't seem to exist for some reason....

Oh, that is strange as I saw his name on the main page where it says
Welcome to our newest member,

Will he have to register again then?
I know the man. Got in contact with him because he was the last owner of a scrapped S8 here in Sweden

I think the issue is that there's not enough active/on the ball mods on this forum

Well, to be fair, we're an extremely well-behaved bunch with a low turnover of members that don't really need active moderation. ;)

SWMBO thinks I need moderation! ;)

:eek:

I believe the issue with new registrations is that the responsibility for approving new users lies in the hands of the forum owners, a business, and quite rightly so, they want to control this aspect of things, as how this forum comes across to others reflects on that business.

There are several moderators on the forum, and has been evident for me over the past seven years, that they have done an admirable job in maintaining a highly effective and welcoming forum. As HPsauce alluded to, the vast majority are well behaved, but occasionally there is a need for a moderator to step in. In my seven years here, I've only seen one member banned, one post where they were asked to 'tone it down' and a couple of threads locked. Long may it continue that way.

Nicely put Sean - and it's free to members, too ;)

Maybe she meant modernised:p
