Basically, yes.
We've been bombarded with spam posts and this was the only way to stop them getting on the board.
We were then flooded with reports of spam posts which then doubled the amount we had to clean up.
There is a point where your posts no longer need approving, though I don't know what you need to meet it. It'll be something like an amount of posts and/or attachments and maybe thanks received?
