We have recently implemented a new feature to help facilitate welcoming new members into our community.
Newly registered members are assigned to the Probation role.
Members in the Probation role have their
posting privileges restricted to the
Welcome to our Community! portion of our forum.
3 - 5 minutes after a member in the Probation role submits a post in
Welcome to our Community! , they will be granted full member access to other forum sections.
New members and existing members are always encouraged to
create a new Topic briefly introducing themselves or reply to
How I found PackersHome or
How I Became A Fan .
We feel this will serve two purposes. The most important being we get to know the new fans a little better and the side effect is we should encounter less spam.
