If you don¡¯t want to have to moderate messages after membership is approved, remove the New Users Moderated check. The way you have it set, you will always have to moderate new members until you manually change the moderate state on their subscriptions. If you want to moderate a set number of messages before automatically removing moderate state, then select that number rather than Not Enabled. Not Enabled means don¡¯t ever automatically unmoderate.
tx / yeah..... so i guessed that this-here would do it; comments / corrections welcome.? does "Not Enabled", below, mean that once approved new members can post without approval / moderation?? this is the protocol i'd like to achieve: once a member is approved, he/she can post away without further intervention from admins.
