I know scammers are put into quarantine. However are the posts of all new members automatically put into quarantine? I know ct's post (our latest member) was put into quarantine for quite a few hours.
Welcome ct.I'm sure one of our well-informed members will be able to answer your questions.

Members who have posted less than five times have their posts quarantined automatically, since spammers have signed up as members in order to do what they do.

I would be annoyed, insulted, horrified and I would leave and trash this place to death for the years. No way if this is an option. Let the spammer spam. There are many of us to delete them.

Perhaps you should take it up with Benziger, since I didn't set it up.

I too would favour allowing everything to be published first time. Anything dodgy can easily be spotted and then deleted while, at the same time, genuine posters won't be put off.

Perhaps you could set up a poll?

I agree with Maggie. If I joined a site and I was quarantined, I would definitely leave the place and never go back. We have moderators from the US, Canada, England, & Switzerland. One of them could delete the scammers.

That just seems to be a way to get no new members. Surely the default should be to allow new members as legit, rather than default to thinking they're spam. That's not a friendly welcome.

Moderators can approve a new member's first few posts, releasing them from quarantine.
Since Benziger [as Admin] enacted the quarantine rule, he's the one to talk with since he has made several people moderators.
As for friendly welcomes, it kind of depends on where you are and what is going on versus where others are and what is going on for them.

It assumes someone is guilty.

Cameron, I noticed that ct had only posted once and was put into quarantine. A few hours later he/she was taken out of quarantine. Benziger answered his/her enquiry but ct hasn't responded. I hope ct hasn't left us. He/she was last here on 5th Nov. when the post was quarantined.

Once again, this is something you need to talk to Benziger about, because I'm not Benziger and I didn't set up the rule.

I agree. It assumes someone is guilty. Then address your complaint to Benziger. It's not a complaint. It's an opinion. Why bring it up if it's not up for discussion? Why? It makes no sense. Case closed. It is what it is.

Why make it an issue by creating a post about it if it's not debatable. Let's just leave Benziger do what he wants. I regret answering. Seesh.
