    as far as i can see, DP now has a rule of moderating new member comments/posts. not sure how long the moderation is for or for how many posts but from what i can see, the first posts are getting approved by default. otherwise there would not be so many spam threads by first time posters.

    for example, this is one thread i ran into, "Super quality counterfeit passport and drivers license for sale." this is the first post by a new member which i'm sure is gonna get deleted so not putting link to the thread but the question is, does the first post get posted for all new members by default?

    if someone spams, the spam will start form the first post so isn't it easier to moderate the first posts and weed out this spammers from the beginning?

    No, it's not easier to pre-moderate all users. If you see spam, just use the "Report Posts" option.
