Edit the Registered Users usergroup, find the Post / Thread Permissions section and set the Follow Forum Moderation Rules option to NO.
After you moderate their posts, you can move them to another usergroup that doesn't get their posts placed in the queue. -
Yes, you'll have the existing Registered usergroup which is moderated and then Registered (Confirmed) group or something like that which have unmoderated posts.
By the way, in almost all cases, you only need to moderate ONE post. Once you see that their post is real and not spam, you can approve.
If you use a Usergroup Promotion, then once their post(s) are approved, after 1 hour they will get auto-promoted to Registered (Confirmed). By the way, these Promotions are not a trigger, they affect all users. So if you set up a Promotion, then all users with 1+ post will get bumped to Registered (Confirmed) every hour.Comment

Right. I generally use five posts as the trigger for the promotion, but one or two will work if you're not in a high profile, subject to spam sort of board.
I also disable signatures, avatars and links for users that haven't been promoted yet. It eliminates a lot of spam.Anybody who says "it can't be done" will usually be interrupted by somebody who is already doing it.Comment
