I have seen the approval mechanism employed on other forums before, so we are certainly not unique in doing so. We've had to use far more drastic measures in the past to ensure continued functioning of this site, so I don't think this is excessive. I won't go into more detail because this thread is not the right place for it, if you have any further questions pertaining to this site please post a new thread in the appropriate forum or send a private message to an active site director.
