There should be a 30 day waiting period once an account is made before you can post.

Our roster right now is the worse in the SEC. Porter avg at best he doesn't score in the paint, 31% 3 shooter. Center we picked up from Oklahoma 1 point a game and 1 rebound. We got 3 portal picks left we better hit home runs are we are looking at 0 and 18 again. Mitchell isn't going to stay around this program if we are going to be bad. LSU picks up 4 good players, South Carolina 3 . Come on Gates we can't go through another disaster .

Hold your phone up to the mirror and look at the original post.
The reflection may jar your memory.
???? No idea what you mean and what anything you wrote has to do with a 30 day waiting period before you post. Many sites have a 30 day waiting period and it resolve a lot of sock accounts.

Gonna look like I'm Sealioning you here, but I'm not.
Did you me "start a topic" versus "post"?
Also, please back up your assertion "Many sites have a 30 day waiting period.." links to relevant sites would be appreciated.
Ddierker, I meant before you can post, but anything is a step in the right direction. Reddit is one of the largest site and many of their boards have a 30 day period. Here is an article on the topic.

We are already doing this, a moderator or sysadmin has to review and approve posts from new users (green).
Which means you never see the blatant spammers.
A new user stays a new user until after they confirm their email, and as long at the posts being submitted aren’t blatant trolling they get approved.
So I am a bit confused by your statements.
I did not realize that, but in theory you could approve someone the same day if they start with a benign post, then turn to the dark side after that one day? A new email takes minutes to procure if needed.
You are absolutely correct but there isn’t a working solution for that.
A “troll” could easily create a new login every month for 10 years, and just dust off the oldest one to use when they want to. (before you scoff… that’s a playbook that been tried…. Is still actively being used. Again hard for you, or any normal user of the forums, to see the large number of banned sock-puppets that have been identified before anybody noticed them.)
Age of a login (by itself) doesn’t prove anything.
Until they post it’s kind of hard to take their measure.
At the same time, a single post (unless they’re spamming for “product”, or breathing death threats) isn’t sufficient to identify a perennial problem child.
The new user you complained about could be a perennial problem child wearing a new sock, or they could also just be “a long time lurker, first time poster.”
