Straighterline spammer / policy change needed

[dmjacobsen]

I disagree. This site does a FANTASTIC job of identifying and removing spammers within a day or two. Just use the report button. The other site (degreeinfo) has a similar limit for new users. Put it this way, I've been a "new" user on there for like 3 years. I don't bother commenting because once my comment gets approved, the post is stale. This forum is fine the way it is, and I don't think we should be putting any kind of newbie limits.

I don't think that it needs to be so restrictive that moderators have to approve every post for X number of posts. That puts too much work on the moderators.

The moderators here are doing a great job of quickly removing garbage. This isn't a commentary on how well they're doing their job. However, putting some controls in place would take some of the work off of the moderators and also reduce the time wasted by users who read and respond to the posts prior to the moderators getting to them.
