I am noticing that new members' new posts/threads (not sure which one, probably threads) need to be approved. This might be too small of a question to start a new thread for, but I just didn't want to get off-topic in another thread; when did this rule start?

No question is too small to ask.

There are periods in the year where spammers are most active, and many times per day register to spam and leave. This is hard on everyone, so some time ago we had employed a fairly well known spam filter called Akismet in to vBulletin. If someone posts a link as their first post, has a poor dynamic IP history (etc.) they may unfortunately require moderator review. This is called a "false positive" and is generally justified by the spam annihilation powers that it gives us.

If you are referring to your moderated post, I had approved it.
