Thanks for your efforts but please keep in mind that that kind of moderations would not be acceptable for a longer time. Especially considering it being a one or two man/woman job and keeping in mind that people try to post 24/7! The quick answer time was always a feature of these forums and shouldn't be ruined.
Why did blocking(=moderating) just new users didn't work?
Also in the meantime - could we do it without that green reminder "Please note, your reply will need to be approved by a moderator before it is posted in the forum." on the top of a thread? Its very uncomfortable if you reply to a longer thread and after clicking reply you are taken to the top to read that reminder and have to scroll deep down to be able to type your reply.
I am glad I am not asked if I want to go to discussion or main space page after clicking the send button. But unfortunately that question still turns up if I edit a post and click update.
P.S.: East coast seems to be out of office and I still have a couple of posts waiting for moderation :-(
