Why are my replies subject to moderator approval?

 

[Lou]

It's because you're a new member, I will sort it out for you.

It's to prevent spam on the forums so we check new posts from new members.

Any chance you can also sort it out for me - it makes it hard to keep a conversation going if I have to wait multiple hours for someone to approve my reply, thanks.

To stop idiots like me...

In some cases it takes almost 24 hours for a new members response to show. Is this going to be a constant thing? Because I assume many like me either cant help an urgent problem or get fed up waiting for the chance to read and respond.

If you were around during the time when the forum was constantly being bombarded with spam by morons you would understand why the filter was put in place.
New members are informed of the delay when they join up.

I appreciate that RPM, I dont intend to sound rude but it's hard to help people when there is this delay. How many posts does a new member need to create before this sanction is lifted?

Don't know what it is now, used to be 10.

Hey guys sorry for the delay in approvals. As you know things are mental for everyone at the moment. And I've got a kidney infection on top of it all. Will try to get them. Done quicker. Apologies.

You’re only human @Lou. Can only be in one place at a time.

Well my posts just seem to be being deleted and I only just joined. Not sure why and can't get an answer. Ah well. Have to try another source.

Sorry to hijack/reboot this, but I’ve just replied to a thread, which is awaiting moderator approval and I’m not a new member. Is it because the poster/OP is new? I’ve never noticed it before.

Is it to do with a training thread?

Not sure, didn’t pay attention to it much, other than the moderator approval bit. I think Shaun has said it was in the plumber wanted section?
