I am an Australian active member of the IPA and PAA, and actually help "moderate" the IPA board.
This was requested due to differences in "Time Zones" between where I live, and those in America and Europe.
It is during these wee small hours of the morning that spammers, inappropriate and offensive material (including pornographic), is often posted.
I would often spend time every night removing such material, which often came from Eastern European origin, and this has by and large been "cleaned up" in the last 12 months or so.
The only way to combat this was to make registration and participation more regimented, so as to stop these autobot postings.
This was implemented by the senior administrators of the board.
Hopefully the board is still "user friendly" to all genuine corresondants, which is obviously what it is intentioned to do.
