new user vs. trusted member

HI guys! Is there are module out there that helps me make a difference between new members whose threads and comments need to be moderated vs veteran members who can freely post? That would be of great help to me as everything a new member writes goes directly to the front page is readily available to all the online users.

investigate the modr8.module, there are others similar in the downloads area as well.

Thank you for the reply. Will

Thank you for the reply. Will the module work for my requirement, meaning the approval will only be necessary to new members? I tried installing the module but i realized I have a bigger problem. Every time I install a different module from admin all I get is a blank page. Not very nice for my users :) While I fix this problem (?i wonder how) let me know if you have any other ideas for me.

blank pages, aka, WSOD, are apache errors and typically become an issue when you are exhausting memory on your host. More information on this in the Troubleshooting FAQ's section of the documentation area.

I solved the problem. As

I solved the problem. As stupid as it might seem I got confused in my own websites, which one was Drupal 5 and which Drupal 6 so I was trying to install a Drupal 6 module on a Drupal 5 website :( Pretty embarrassing...

I just checked the modr8

I just checked the modr8 module but with it I can not discriminate against between the posts of new and trusted members. I do not want to moderate everything, but only posts of new users

did you check the modr8_bypass.module which is an addon? Did you check the moderation.module, which is another option?

I have not checked these 2

I have not checked these 2 modules. I will do that shortly.
