Why are these posts approved ?!

    As far as I know when new members "Peon"s make posts in forums their posts don't appear until a mod approve and modify them .

    So the questions is why mods approve spam posts which are violating forum's rules obviously ?

    For example see the below thread :
    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=2231607

    This post has been made by a Peon member who is not still established one , therefor a mod has read his post and approved it . Now is that logical if I go and report it ?!

    You realize of course it would be an impossible task to pre-moderate all new users, right? :) A user being new does NOT necessarily mean their posts are moderated. SOME new users are, some are not... it's more about the probability of them being a spammer (based on geographical location, content of the post itself, etc.)

    According to posts from other mods I though ALL new members effected by this program . So I was misunderstood . Thanks for clarification :)

    Also let me refer to my previous PM to you . That guy is still making duplicate threads and I have reported some of them again but no mod takes action against that man . Please review it .

    While this may appear to be common-sense, I like the thoughtful consideration of efficiency.

    Do you agree more people reporting such posts would be helpful to the current moderators, or a hindrance to their existing workload?

    Reporting a post is always a good thing (one that violates our rules of course)... It IS annoying and a waste of time when people report posts because they don't personally like it (but the post doesn't actually break rules)... like you get someone who doesn't like someone else and they just go and report all their posts thinking that reporting it automatically makes it go away.
