At the end of the day, there isn't an army of moderators on the forum to deal with all the newcomers. They would much rather leave them in NMC unless the notice they can take care of themselfs and not have to be educated when their in the big pond. If there were more mods/admins who had all the time in the world to sit on here and moderate I'm sure there would be no NMC, unfortuantly there isn't so its shit luck, if you don't like it, leave for another forum that dosn't have this system in place. I agree it can be unfair on some at times, where some people get validated in a day and some a matter of months but that is how it is. No amount of whining from people is going to change that.
