I've posted a couple of times on a recent thread in the "Classified" section and the post has to be approved first, OK, understand that you need to keep the idiots/spammers etc off it and that was the reason for locking it in the first place. I'm also sure it's the reason for the present set of rules for it too.
However, the point/suggestion here is that is it possible to exclude posters from the approval senario that have say 100 or 200 post or that you are OK with.
Just an idea, know it's a sensitive one, but just a thought as it would still be easy to moderate or if so spammed, then locked/deleted.
