Phew. Can we please get rid of that forced moderation for new members' posts?

From my experience I've never seen problems with links of the approved users.

A wise decision of the administrators has been, to limit the time for users to edit their postings. Therefore it is impossible to insert spam links within the posting many days or weeks later.

Perhaps Clinton or Harry may consider to extend the time limit to 24 or 48 hours. Sometimes users complain about the current short time limit. And I think none of the approved users will abuse such an extended time limit for spam.

do you mean this restriction on just new users, or on approved users too?

and perhaps with new users, it's possible to be automatic in allowing(or sending for approval) edits that don't modify or add links.

It's only a thought of me to extend the time limit. Even if the administrators will do it, it would be their own decision, in which way they will do it.

But I think it isnt't necessary to differ between new or approved users. Either a spamer insert a spam link immediately or he starts in any thread with a nonsense posting like for example:
"Very interesting message. I agree with you."
