New threads are also pre-screened.
Has anyone considered having a page that new members are taken to and on this screen are the rules of the forum and some pointers for posting etiquette. (Does this exist now? I forget.) The new member would have to click “I have read and agree” like a typical software installation. Then they would be taken directly to a home page for a collection of welcome and “Getting Started” pages.
Is this what you had in mind?
At least we’d know and they’d be on record as having been told the basic parameters before they post including why you might get zotted. I’m sure a number of us could put together some helpful-to-noob pages they could peruse. We could include links to the HTML sandbox, too, so we don’t have 15 “how do I post a pic” threads per week...
Just a thought.
>>> New threads are also pre-screened.
Trolls must be signing up then and waiting past the burn in time to avoid the pre-screening.
maybe the privilege to start a new thread should be granted based on number of in-thread posts without complaints.
No more cheese threads in "Breaking News??"
I changed my email address and now I am getting prescreened. I’ve been here since 1998.
I agree that we should be more tolerant of the newbies. Give them a chance to show who they are and NO Name calling!! That and the speech police #%&*! LOL CO
