Maybe damage control is better than preemptive control (for example moderating every post I write). I wish you all the best with the framework but I need something more. I am an experienced asp.net dev who wants to start using linux servers (i.e. more availability). This hasn't been a good changeover so far.
Not every post are moderated. Just the first messages (not sure the exact number, something between 3 and 5). You wouldn't believe the amount of spam this forums gets. Once you're a regular user, you can post without the need for a mod to approve your post.
But I guess we won't see you again as you seems to have decided Laravel is a better fit for your needs, which is totally fine. But if you gave up that quickly on CodeIgniter just by doing the "news" tutorial, good luck with Laravel!! 
Yes I know it seems like quitter talk. I think it is a number of issues. CI seems just seems too lightweight. As soon as it comes to database input I obviously
need authentication, right there and then. It is not there and ready in CI. I think for a lot of web devs we just want it there already. I do not want to go digging around for an external project. I am pretty sure laravel will not have the same level of ease of use of asp.net/ Visual studio, but I did try ROR before this one. ROR is, at least, closer to asp.net, than CI. CI does not seem like "rapid dev" framework, it seems like a low footprint (simple) framework.
I think it means too much messing about tbh. I may eventually just go back to asp.net but I will give laravel a chance at least. I need stuff right there and then, no digging about. Asp.net is like that but... it needs windows servers (search all the top 10 hosting companies and see how many support windows hosting!)
