To continue to battle spam, new users now can also not have a Signature or Create Groups until they hit a post threshold either. Hopefully will cut back on spam a bit.
never seen anything like this in all my days. a minimum of 15 threads first? how do you keep enough new members around with this kind of policy? not sure how that works when you're trying to grow a community. but this is your ship and im just here for the ride i guess.
