Please remove this " moderator approval " feature for new users

When I first registered, I couldn't believe a website I always appreciated for its liberalism and freedom of opinion uses such a restriction for new users. I understand you're all cool and gang with each other and don't care about new users, but you must understand that old users can accompany a website to a certain point. They eventually die ( especially in Codex's case, since some people here are old ) or their interest moves on. After that, new ones should replace. It's a sad truth, but it can't be avoided. But right now, this feature is a big turn-off for any new user and prevents them to feel right at home. Therefore prevents them to stay longer. Yes, the posts get approved fast. Yes, the duration is not very long. But still, it's very annoying. I know there are trouble makers. But as far as I know, there is always at least one moderator online who can make short work of the urchin very fast. Also this feature won't help very much if someone really intends to make trouble. Since they can come along until they get totally approved and start to make trouble. Internet trolls are armed with the weapon of patience lately. I went through this, but since I am caring, I don't want other people to suffer the same thing. So I'm making this request on their behalf.

You can also use this catchy and threatening slogan in the registration page instead to make the situation clear for new users.

We give you a chance, make it count/ you fuck it up, we'll nuke your account

So pretty please, with sugar on top, do something about it.

 

It's 5 posts.

If someone desperately wants to get through the process quickly, it's really not hard for anyone with a functioning brain to shit out 5 acceptable posts in under 10 minutes. Do that, wait a short while for them all to be improved, and you never have to deal with it again. That really doesn't seem like a turn-off, except to someone with the attention span of a mayfly.

What it does do is make alt-spamming a little bit more inconvenient. Which is almost always a good thing.

 

LundB has excellent taste in the arts and literature, I'll vouch for him

 

crispy stop giving jaesun false hopes of air sex

 

I didn't know it was just 5 posts. The notification ( which you guys can't probably see ) says something about a week of moderation. I kinda wondered why I came out of it so fast, but I thought mods manually did it since I wasn't suspecious.
In that case, it's not very bad. But I still think it would have been if it didn't exist. Since it's not very effective and it's just a minor annoyance. ( Like a mosqito or whatever )

 

Meh...boy seems clean...only one GD post, and it wasn't even misogynistic or anything....

Welcome...in one year you can pretend you've been here since 2002...

 

Always find it funny when new people join a forum and immediately have ideas on how to make it better.

 

Oh shit, you got Jaesun all excited!

 

Sadly he already missed a great chance of starting with ye olde "I've been lurking since 1991..." talk.

 

see the difference that minimal makeup can make

L'Oréal - because you're worth it

 

Thanks for taking the time to give a convincing answer to my concern. You're the most responsive admin I have encountered by a long shot.

 

oh come on.what the fuck. just because i can post more posts than the rest of you doesn't mean they are shit. most of them are good. i guarantee half of those 500 posts that are mine were good but were declined on the account of miserable shitcock moderators who DU trusts blindly. which is why he picked them. he felt he could trust them blindly. it doesn't prove they have a good record when they must hurt me so dearly. I could really fuck this site up. I make good posts but if you continue to decline them to support an evil system of approval i will simply bring down rpgcodex.

furthermore you must setup a pizza charity. pay me when my posts are inevitably decline. one dollar per declined post. I won't be aroudn forever if you keep this decline up. we are in over our head from moderator decline, that inexcusable and is abomination of visibility.

 

Well you proved to be a jerk. but still, responsive.

 

That is too abstract to be classifiable. Insatiable pity is insatiable. Grow up and sneeze mountain.

 

Keep it up. It's better to be jerk and responsive rather than nice and unresponsive. ( like Microsoft's support team )

BTW, I was Chuck Norris. But that was me in a disguise. This is my true form which is very different from my Chuck Norris form.

 

Yeah, yeah. Now go back to your work, janitor.
