Hi all

To combat the influx of spammers lately, I've now turned on 'new member moderation'.

So any new members now need to be 'approved' before they have permission to post.

Spammers will just be stuck in the queue and not approved, and new legitimate members will be permitted to join.

It might mean a small delay for new members before they're able to post - apologies for any inconvenience, but it's better than continuing with how it is now, and the current effort the moderators have to go to to keep deleting and banning the bots and spammers.

Thanks
