I am toying with the idea of instituting a delay before guests and some members can see the text of a post (and attachments, sigs, etc.). No one responded to my inquiry at .org so I've looked under the covers to get ideas. As far as I can tell, this is controlled by the postbit template.
It should be as simple and effective as possible. This is what I'd like to test:
Anyone with a delay would have the text replaced with "This post will be readable in y hours."
Apologies if this sounds involved (or infeasible). I am trying to deal with a large number of lurkers. My site frequently breaks local news, especially involving politics and municipal government, and I think there is time value in that to a number of people.

- usergroup (an array of approved groups)
- Time since user's last post -- over x seconds has a delay
- Whether or not a robot (WOL)
- Forumid
