Why Moderate All Posts in Professional Chefs Subforum?

Hi there.

I've been posting on this site lately, and have noticed that whenever I post in the Pro Chefs subforum part of the site, my posts always say "since you're new here, we're holding this for moderation."

Perfectly reasonable decision, IMO.  I'm just wondering 1) why that only applies to the Pro Chefs subforum area, and 2) how long it will keep telling me that.

 

Thanks!

I wasn't told the handshake, but I did learn the secret knocks on the door.

Those are mostly the spam memberships. They also appear in the list again when I delete the spam links out of their account. If they're a few minutes apart in timestamp, it's probably the spammer creating accounts. If they're a minute apart in  a string, i'm probably on a banning cleanup frenzy.

more than taste fine

We have been hit so hard lately with spam registrations that we have tightened the rules. It should be for all new users and for all forums not the sub forums.

Thanks,
