  • Approved or Unapproved?

    What's with that feature? Is it just me or cause I posted a link?

    Weird. I just saw that. I approved the post but don't know why it did that.

        I'll take YOhio.

        13 Therefore, aif it were possible that you could have bjust men to be your kings, who would establish the claws of God, and judge this people according to his commandments, yea, if ye could have men for your kings who would do even as my father dBenjamin did for this people—I say unto you, if this could always be the case then it would be expedient that ye should always have kings to rule over you.

            I mentioned this the other day, but we have been slammed in the last six months or so with spam accounts. It is exhausting to keep deleting them all so I turned on one of the auto-spam-fighting features in the vbulletin CP. It tries to detect spam posts and put them in the moderator queue. Maybe it fixes one problem by creating another. I guess I will turn it off. Sigh...

              jl, it's annoying, but not a big deal for us. if it's too much for you guys as mods, sure turn it off. but i'm not sure it's worth turning off for the rest of us at this point depending on how bad the spam accounts/posts were. just my $.02

                Honestly, I think I have been spending more time approving posts with the new system.

                    Haha.

                    It has been interesting to watch what it has been flagging. I can't figure out the logic.

                      That's a bridge too far.

                          Seems like there should be a way to have posters pre-approved. If not, that's lazy programming by the vbulliten folks.
