How can I prevent new users from appearing in the newsfeed before they are approved? For example someone registers and uploads an offensive avatar like that shows a woman's baby feeders.

I believe oxwall has this functionality built into it as it stands.

That would be wonderful! Want to provide a clue as to how?
Oxwall has many wonderful and exciting features, but documentation does not appear to be among them.

Certainly!

Check out 'Mandatory User Approve' and see if that's not what you need.

That was already checked. The issue is that they are showing up with avatar in the newsfeed BEFORE being approved. I don't want to remove the option for them to upload an avatar at signup if I don't have to.
Thanks!

Hmm that is a bit confusing. I think this is going to require a Custom Code Modification as I've just noticed the same thing in my installation.

It should be the default scenario.
I completely agree with you, Steve. I'm working on a fix as we speak and am going to post this as a bug.
