Moderators being rather picky?

Quoting Scion :
If you came to the group today, as an unknown, posted two or three replies
and maybe started a new topic, then received a message saying that you
were 'on probation' therefore your posts had been rejected, you would
probably not feel the same.

If that ever happens to a bona-fide new poster, let us know.

It gets worse.

So a new poster turns up, and you look in to the URCM crystal ball and try and
ascertain whether this is a "bon-fide" new poster or a "mala-fide" new poster -
and then take a different action depending on your infallible method and
considered opinion, rather than just moderating the post on its content.

Perhaps ULM should take up this novel approach: it's certainly made URCM a very
successful group.
