User Group Changes. (Why I cant create post or thread)
Since the spam has gotten to be a concern for some folks of late, I've made some changes to the user groups we have on this forum.
Registered Users
- All new users default into this group, and will remain in it until they have made one (1) post.
- Cannot create threads.
- Posts are moderated.
- Cannot upload attachments.
- Cannot upload avatars or profile pictures.
- Cannot post polls or vote in them.
- Cannot use reputation functions.
Active Users
- Registered User with a post count of one (1) or more will be promoted to this group.
- All the restrictions listed above are lifted. At this point you're considered to be a useful member of the forum. Your permissions will be exactly what all Registered Users were previously entitled to.
The promotion will not necessarily be immediate. After making your second post, a task will run at :25 past the hour that will promote you from Registered to Active user. Hopefully, this will cut down on the spam without interfering with the day-to-day activities of our productive members. (I've run this manually, so everybody with 2 or more posts has already been promoted.) With the moderation in place, it may be possible to knock the number of posts down to one, but we'll see how this goes first.
Moderators and Administrators will need to remember to check the post queue from time to time.
