Since the automatic filtering consistently fails, may I propose something?
* When new accounts with 0 points post a new thread, it is put in moderation queue. Stays invisible unless a moderator releases it. On the same occasion, moderators help newcomers to find a suitable forum for their posts.
New users won't need to post a separate request to verify them faster, or suffer inability to attach images or links.
* New accounts can skip moderation, if they bring additional reputation when registering.
This reputation can be: paid Office or MSDN subscription, affiliation with a known org; Github, Stack Overflow users with high enough reputation and so on.
* New accounts can reply in existing threads (checked by automatic filtering, as usual)
