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 :beer1:
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.Quote:

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.Quote:

we now know there are at least two moderators online now :)
All approved and sorted now. I don't understand why some were moderated and later ones weren't. :confused: 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.
Including one confused old git who types slowly.Quote:

I just was more concerned why some were and some were not..
cheers
still awaiting my last post to be approved...
Being a mod isn’t a full-time job so we’re often away from the forum, posts needing approval are actioned as soon as they are noticed. Leaving messages like that doesn’t actually speed up the process.Quote:

They don't, & posts that are just there to raise somebody's post count usually get spotted fairly soon. The offenders usually end up in the Sin Bin, banned, or their post count starts going in reverse.Quote:

But I can understand if that's your sole purpose you might be impatient!
As it happened I really enjoyed it and had I known how useful it would be I would have joined regardless.
Note to mods: Please don't delete my back links, I've worked so long and hard for them. I know I have sinned please forgive me!:bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:
I only joined for the banter...no idea how I ended up with a set of keys to the place. :zip:Quote:

But...I also value the linkjuice so please be kind to an old timer ;)
I'm just here for the free food.
You must be very hungry then...:pQuote:
