    "New User" Policy

    From now on, the first post by a newly registered user will have to be approved by one of the moderators - Paul or myself - before it actually appears on Pet Talk. We hope by making this change, we can keep the spammers from showing up. This will take a little patience from newcomers, but if you know someone who wants to register and have their post appear right away, you can contact me and "vouch" for that person, and I will put that one user's permission through immediately.

    I think that's a great idea. I've seen many other boards that also do the same thing.

    I also think by doing this it would cut down on those new users posting about some dreadful illness their pet has but won't go to the vet. I hate those kind of posts and most of the time they never come back to let you know if they took the pet to the vet or what happened or anything.

    Kudos to you for making this great change!

    I agree! Some of them were just ridiculous! Great idea, Karen - this will make the forums a lot "cleaner".

    I hate when people do that. We never know what happened to the poor animals.

    Please, if your dog is arthritic look into getting it Elk Velvet Antler. Look up my posts on it, PM me, or look it up on a search engine; but please if you love your dog and want it to live many more years consider this option. I've seen so many posts on here about dogs needlessly suffering. I can't make a new post about EVA every time so this plea is going here. EVA also helps with other ailments such as anemia.
