woke up this morning, and some guy had spammed my forum, new Member, signed up and spammed whilst I was asleep.
at the same time, I have a regular known user, who has over ten posts, and has been promoted in the forum as I know him IRL. His posts still need to be approved before they are seen?
one, how do I make sure I don't have to approve his posts, and two, why can he not post, but a new Member can come up, AND post links?

Hi @percysgrowroom,
This issue is related to the wrong configuration.
First of all, check the value of the "User is New (under hard spam control) during first X posts" option.
And set yes value for the "Posts must be manually approved" option.
I'd also suggest you increase the value of the following two options:
- Spam Suspicion Level for Topics
- Spam Suspicion Level for Posts
All those options are located in Dashboard > Forums > Tools > Antispam admin page.
There is a special “Can pass moderation” CAN/permission. You should make sure it's checked for the users in special usergroups, e.g. Registered.
For example in regular Registered Usergroup settings:
