FYI for New Forum Users: First posts and spam
We have two spam prevention mechanisms in place just to keep the ChessCube forums free of viagra ads, special offers and other unsavory stuff:
1. New users have their first post checked by forum moderators.
After this is done, and your post is accepted, you won't have to wait for moderation again - so post freely!
2. New users cannot post links to external sites.
You will be warned that your post looks spammy. So even if you meant no harm (e.g. only a nice video or a picture you wanted to share), rather introduce yourself first before sharing external links. This only lasts a couple posts
Pretty simple but effective spam prevention. If you have any questions or run into any problems with it, just reply here. And if a spammer makes it through this filter, please click on the "!" icon under the post to report it.
Otherwise, happy posting!
