I have a wedding to attend and will be gone until some time tomorrow, and since an unfortunate emotionally damaged person is having another episode I've put all "new" users into the moderation queue for posts to be manually approved. Some of you who are more active than others may get caught up in this and I apologize but I'd rather err on the side of caution than let someone who is mentally unstable run amok whilst I'm away.

Thanks for your patience and understanding!

How long is someone in the new user category?

There's an algorithm on the back end that bases it on how long since registered combined with post count, number of posts read, reputation points, etc.

I've been trying to do some manually as well to get a little ahead of the algorithm, but there have been about 40 new accounts registered in the past few days that look suspicious so I'm being pulled in multiple directions with the limited time I have.

Do replies count as posts? I don’t think I’ve ever created an original post.🤔😂
 
it jumps up with every message I guess, but I didn't watch it much myself before ;) just realized my status changed and my messages count was showing 301

Zippity said there might be a higher algorithm for original posts. I don’t have anything to post. I just high jack other people’s threads.😂😂

it still counts, I think admin overestimated the algorithm, its probably just a few conditions like:
if((message_count>=300) & (days_registered>=100)) ...

And here’s me thinking “Senior Member” was just a nasty comment on my advanced age…
