Because in the year 2009, a whole bunch of spambots flooded the site with ads for xanax, gucci bags and porn. As a result, all new accounts have to be approved manually for their first post. The spam problem continues to this day, I had to remove over 100 spam accounts and they're still coming. They're getting smarter too, and making "human-like" posts on random dead threads but advertising random crap like online casinos and lingerie. If people could post immediately, then this site would be infested with posts like this: The LA mod is still available here: https://www.emergency-planet.com/files/file/337-los-angeles-mod-21/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
