Test thread - replies needing moderator approval?

[Scott Helmke]

Had a weird one in Varsity, replied to a thread and ended up with something like "your post will be displayed once approved by a moderator". Never had that happen before, except maybe when I first registered here.

This thread is to test that.

Test thread - replies needing moderator approval?

Hey Scott,

We use a few services to help reduce spam on the forum. While you don't see it, we get a major spam hit in the blogs. For that reason, all blog entries require moderator approval.

We tried going with an additional spam prevention service to help with this, but it seems like it's too aggressive and doesn't catch the blog spam. I woke up this morning with 7 posts from long time members needing approval, along with a bunch of tagged spam posts as well.

We're back to scanning only users' first 3 posts. You shouldn't run into any more problems.

Thanks,
David
