Fixed a Growing Problem

As my site became better known, I started to get more and more people registering and immediately private messaging everyone in the group and sending out friendship requests.

They were not genuine members, but only there to cause trouble. I had installed a plugin to throttle the number of PM’s people can send, but they could still annoy the members they could contact before they reached the limit.

Now they can’t until I vet them first. The only unwanted result is they can’t join groups until then, but it’s a sacrifice genuine members need to make to protect the privacy and security of existing members.

Well done.
