Yup. This is already a thing we keep an eye out for for new users (I’m less likely to approve a new user if they seem primarily interested in arguing politics), and I agree it makes more sense to be on the lookout for it right now.
When new users post content, moderations check whether they’re spammers, and whether they seem to meet the basic quality bar we want for site users. (In some cases we block accounts, in some cases we send them a message noting that their content isn’t generally up to the standards of the site)

What do you mean “approve a new user”? AFAIK, registration is totally free.

“Synchronized moderating” could be an olympic sport I guess :P (We both wrote a reply with functionally the same content at the same time)
