Dear moderators - can we please put an end to these annoyingly long posts about the ЕЭГ and studying English in London? They have appeared in other communities too. They cannot be commented upon, which adds to the frustration.

Yes, let's start the poll for pre-moderation.

So, in four days we have three votes for starting the pre-moderation poll, out of four thousand members.

Sorry.

Does this necessarily mean that there will be a delay from an original post and a response due to "pre-moderation?"

To me, part of the charm of this forum is the instant response I seem to get. It's amazing. I hit my "Enter" key and, invariably, within a minute or two some kind person has answered the question. It's magic! :)

I like that.

So, if this means a delay - I am AGAINST pre-moderation.

Exactly my point. Unless it's absolutely necessary and the bots attack every other minute, I'm against pre-moderated membership. So far, we have approx. two attacks a week, and the spam excrements are normally removed within an hour (and that's in the worst case.) I see no emergency yet.
