A few words about spam

['thul]

Might it be a good idea to change settings for the Other Universes section so that new users have post approval on first post or two there?

In recent times there has been a number of spambots getting in there.
Keeping the RotE and introduction sections as they are might be best though, considering how slow new users would otherwise be approved. (no offense intended farseer. A single person (or two) approving will naturally have multiple holes in the 24-hour coverage. Its an undeniable but unfortunate fact.)

Another alternative would be post approval for first 2-3 posts for all users universally. It would suffer from the delay in approval common to previous suggestion, but it might be easier to implement.

On phpBB 3.0.9 there is a feature for this, not sure if it is on this MyBB version.
There it is a feature called "newly registered users" group, which can have different permissions from "registered users". When user reaches a certain (configurable) post count, he/she/it is moved automatically to the latter group.

*looks questioningly at Mervi*
Does such feature exist here?
