Information to staff about approving posts from new members

[AKM sama]

This is an announcement thread for all the discussion moderators and administrators that they are required to continuously help out with approving the posts/comments from new members, as long as they are not troll posts. You can find this in the Approval Queue that should be visible at the top-left corner of your screens.

Currently the restriction in place by default is that the first 10 posts from new members have to be approved by the mods before they appear on the threads. We have communicated with our system manager to bring this limit down to 2 posts, so that the new members won't have to wait for much longer before being able to post freely and the workload of the mods won't be increased, since we already check the accounts before they are allowed on the forum. Although, like I mentioned above, continuous help from discussion moderators and administrators is still needed in that regard.

Just a reminder. Thank you greatly in advance for your help.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Yes, I already do this; though a different story is if we should add rules of precautions before approval. Such as the "Country of IP not matching their identified location" and what not.

 

[Antvasima]

Yes, that may be reasonable, but on the other hand many members live in countries that require them to use VPNs to access this site.

 

[Just_a_Random_Butler]

Thank you, but I already do this whenever I am able. I'll keep the reminder in mind.

 

[Antvasima]

Thanks a lot for your help.

 

[LordGriffin1000]

Been super sick but will do.

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you very much for your help, but please do not overexert yourself. If you wish to talk about your problems, you can send me a private message if you wish.

 

[FinePoint]

I have already been doing this when it popped up.

If there's a post I'm really unsure about, I tend to leave it for someone else.
I have yet to see trolling, but I have denied messages which seemed like confused spamming, in which case I'll often message that person to clarify and remind them of our rules and recommendations.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Thank you for helping out.
