We've been getting hit by spambots again. It wasn't as bad as last time, but still. I was hoping the new software and service I subscribe to would stop that. But those guys are sneaky. So, I'm re-instating first-post moderation for new members. It worked well last time, and should solve our problems this time around too.
New members will have need to have their first post approved by a moderator. After your first post has been approved, you'll no longer be moderated. I know it's frustrating from a new member perspective, but it does protect the integrity of SSV.
If you see spam or inappropriate activities, please click the Report button in the lower right corner of the post. This will alert a moderator and we'll take appropriate action. Please do not respond to spam posts. It makes our job a lot more difficult if we have to remove your replies to the spam posts, too.
Thanks y'all!
