Isn't it obvious the better way of doing this ?

As you have mentioned in the other post where you only "promote" a poster after "a number of posts". I think it is obviously unnecessary. One will mostly know if a poster is going to post spam or not after his first post. After his first post, if it is a non-spam post, he should be (manually) promoted to a level where his posts will appear immediately. Do you have to wait until "a number of posts" to "promote" him ?
