      Hi! I’ve noticed an increase in spam posts, especially advertisements, which as a moderator I have been deleting at my discretion based on the clear policies on content for this forum. I think maybe our policies should require moderator approval for posts by new users, or some additional safeguards against spam, whatever those might be. Do you have any thoughts or suggestions?

        @cfrank I've seen a few as well which I've deleted, but they're not overwhelming the board or anything, so I wouldn't want to make anything worse for any new users we might get, which isn't that many anyway! So I'd probably say leave it for now, but keep an eye on the situation.

          Thank you both for keeping an eye on this and deleting the spam. If you have suggestions for the settings I'm open to whatever seems like the best option. I don't have strong opinions either way as long as people like you both are taking care of it if it does occur.

          If that wasn't the case I'd say we should look into other options.
