All post has to be approved?

Jompx

Hello,

Seriously.... why does all post have to be approved by an administrator?
As an adult it feels quite strange that my posts aren't trusted.

If i try reply on a post, i don't know if or when my reply is approved and the thread starter probably has moved on to better things before my reply has been approved and therefore doing a reply becomes useless.
Also... if i make a post i check in on it 6 hours later and find that it's not even approved, so if that was a question i most likely have to go elsewhere to find the answer.

Will the "need to be approved" be removed at some point?
It's sad because i find this forum to be an excellent source of information, and i always try help others when i can.
So in short... now i come here to read, posting/replying becomes useless.

Best regards

TIG

It's a "spam trap".
New posters have to wait for approval the first few [3?] posts, but thereafter the trap is removed.
Without this we could be deluged with spam posts which would spoil everyones experience of using the forum - this way the mods/admins can check if a new poster seems genuine and allow their posts through.
You should no longer need to wait for 'approval' for your next post...

Ah... that makes sense, and good to hear.
There's hope after all
