It's recently come to my attention that new subscribers to the FFML
can't post right away. What I'd like to know is how long this 'waiting
period' is to be, and also how resubscribers can bypass this waiting
period.

Excuse me?  This is the first I've heard of this...  Did WW change the rules
of the ML and I missed it?

Yes.  I said the spam has to stop, and I meant it.
