Disagree
Again last night as soon as the mods closed their eyes for the night there was a barrage of troll/rant posts about this site/who owns it etc and I see they have had to be removed again.
I couldn't be arsed whether or not those type of posts get airtime until the mods see them....but members who sign up at 10pm and wait till 1am (Mod snooze time) to begin attacking some of the ladies here COULD be cut down drastically if there was a wait time.
Of course they might try to create multiple aliases at the one time like you say if they had to wait a week to use them for posting,but the novelty will soon wear off when they realise that the multiple email addresses they would need to set up (One for each user name I am guessing??) would all have to be replaced as each username was banned for mailicous posting.
Anyway ,I used to see mention in the review section of a review being ratted due to the same ip address being used....so setting up multiple usernames with the intention of causing trouble surely would be piked up the same way
You talk of not putting off genuine people and therefore this proposal would not work!.................Well surely the truly genuine people WILL return after a wait period to post.In the meantime they can look around ,see what goes on,see what ladies interest them and see who is in town aswell as who is going to be in town soon.
Im a genuine guy (try to be at least) and ive often had to wait for a particular lady to return before being able to make an appointment via pm contact....so why not keep the place a little tidier and restrict postings from new members or pm contact to those who are "genuine" enough to wait a week rather than open the floodgates to anyone with a chip on their shoulder to barge in and abuse others 2 hrs after registering?
