    Default posts awaiting moderation

    I am stuck into why posts are requiring moderation, i made a post last night that required moderation and still not showing, today i made a post it was fine, no moderation posted straight away, then another post this afternoon required moderation and again is not showing.

    what is the point of this, if no one is about to moderate and allow the posts to show?

    thanks

    New members post moderation is removed automatically after 10 posts. All posts are moderated in the For Sale section though, irregardless of how many posts.

    The point of the new member moderation is to combat the spam problems we've had in the past. Occasionally there may be delays in posts being approved if a moderator isn't online at the time. All our moderators give there time here freely, as well as running business and dealing with daily life. So delays are inevitable at times. We kindly ask for our members patience and understanding during these times.

    For new members the first 10 posts are moderated to make sure they're not spamming etc.

    Moderators are volunteers and also have lives outside of the forum so it does depend on when they're on the forum as to how quickly a post will be approved, sometimes there will be a delay but I can assure we don't ignore them. I can't see any outstanding posts of yours waiting to be approved? Can you advise what they were about please.

    All approved and sorted now. I don't understand why some were moderated and later ones weren't. Especially since a post made by Darren was also moderated in the same thread. Curious. I have an inkling why that happened, but I have regularly been baffled by this issue. I shall seek clarification on this matter.

    Thanks guys..

    I thought it was because of spam, i used to run several forums a few years ago and controlling spam is a nightmare.

    I just was more concerned why some were and some were not..

    cheers
