I also liked the idea posted in another thread of limiting the number of posts per time frame e.g. 1 post every 5 minutes. I think that creating new threads should definitely require approval since the number of scams since to be increasing from newer members or this could just be my misconception since I have not been around long enough.
Well not newer members, but newer accounts.
I also like this idea, new members should have to get read the forums for a while before being able to comment freely.
