I wondered, would it be worth shipping with a moderation rule in by default where people with less than 5 posts (who aren't moderators) are automatically post moderated?

I suspect it would encourage people to understand how the system works by having a working example in there by default?

For those coming from SMF: I totally gutted the post moderation system to be rules-based. For example:
 * someone tries to make a new post
 * moderate the post if:
   1) they have less than 5 posts
   2) they are not an Administrator, Global Moderator or Board Moderator

There are other permutations, for example you can push it to moderation if there's x number of links posted, or the user is in other groups or has a given warning level or the post contains certain words. It doesn't really matter exactly what, at this stage, just wondering if it should ship with a default rule set up.
Again, do what you like with this Pete, but from my perspective I imposed a 2 post count restriction on new members and it caused nothing but confusion so reinstated to zero. I feel you should lay out the welcome mat for newbys not an obstacle course. make it as easy as possible for them to sign up and get going as quickly as possible.
