I don't agree with it - there are dead zones when no mods are online, which is when spam and pr0n bots can get through the filters.
I think a system in which any posts that include links and images not on the Zelaron server (that is, anything that isn't a smiley) are either sent into the approval queue and wait for a mod (rather than an automatic approval after an hour) or have the links/pictures stripped out before being instantly approved would be better for the Introductions forum. Probably the latter would be better, as posts would still get through instantly, but the bot/spammer posts would be plain text with no links or pr0nographic material.
My reasoning behind that - new members very rarely post anything with links or external images in Introductions, and those that do are more often than not a bot or spammer of sorts.
