20 post until unlocking "moderated modus" is too long and annoying.

[Lord KiRon]

Have to agree , waiting 20 posts is too much ...
I am here for 3 years , mostly reading and it still my like 15th post.
10 could be much better...

I think this rule should stay, it protects the forum (to a degree) from flaming & promoting hard feeling. Far better to delete an offensive/useless post before it's displayed causing no upset. If an offensive post is displayed & removed after posting the damage has already been done which can then lead on to an unwanted debate, much to the delight of the original poster.

I'm sure we all have been in forums where a particular trouble maker has been banned, only for them to constantly re-register another user account to continue their campaign against the community.

Also there are some that seem to think a high post count is important no matter what! they will persistently post rubbish just to get their count up, why they do this is beyond me

This forum is for support & to discuss Daemon Tools, it's not meant as a chat forum, if left un-moderated too much crap would start to appear.

I would suggest to turn it off or to something like 3 or 5 posts. I think people who like to write crap should be stopped by this. Or maybe do it like heise.de: If you register with a freemail account, you have to wait 24 hours before you can post (or maybe before you can post unmoderated) - many crap-writers loose their interest very soon. Btw: Is it more work to delete the crap once posted? This way the mods have to read all the crap before posting anyway...

Yihaa, my 20th post!

Ha ha. You're right, now that is rather odd. Maybe there's zombies out there eating away at the board's infrastructure.

Nemerov perhaps?

But that are my wordings and not daemonmulch's! Maybe he don't agree to this merging behaviour, because it's not his statement. And really: It's signed by floogy. Bizzare!

Hehe floogy, I moved your post because the suggestion was the same as daemonmulch's.

[floogy]

Ok, just one more post until 20..

Tada!
>20 Posts!

Identity Hijacking?

How did you do that daemonmulch?
I started this thread!

Hello,

I think, that posting 20 Posts until the moderators let you post instantly is too annoying.

I suggest to let a newbie post instantly after 10 Posts.

What do you think?

Make it also more clear and visible that a newbie could not post instantly!

hehe

Step by step.

I will arrive.

Don't you think 20 is a bit much?

OK, I posted again (my third post, still <20) and noticed the screen that pops up does have a "Click to proceed" button but the redirect timer seems to be set at about 3 seconds and the page disappears before I can even read a line.
Maybe make that redirect timer 30 seconds.

[Topaz]

After reading a lot of the "I can't post..." threads I was expecting this when I wrote my first post. I did notice a page that came up for about two seconds after I submitted my first post and the only words I caught were "... forum is moderated...".
I like the <20 post rule as it keeps out the cr^p, but, I agree with the above posts that it might be made a bit clearer to us newbies at DT. Maybe add a "click to continue" button on that page that pops up about things being moderated.

Keep up the good work!
