Moderating - Page 93

Hi P-A,
Sometimes the sheer size of a forum serves to attract people who are new to posting and the general rules of same. They have to learn somewhere, just like everything else. You are dealing with a different set of members. Of course, there is the clarity that your forum is .... well, your forum. You don't have to be nice.

BTW, I envy you that you do run a forum. All the mechanics of it, dealing with the odd bad post. Just the amount of little bits of work must keep you at least crazy busy from time to time. I only moderate, here. I find this to be busy enough for me.

-Chris

I am newb here so I understand my posts are under moderation and will not be posted till a moderator allowed it.

I am wondering how long does it take to make a post without being moderated?

Cal Weldon · 5th August 2009, 10:16 PM

Usually we wait five posts. You are now free of moderation.

megasat16 · 5th August 2009, 10:34 PM

Thanks Cal! That's superb. I can now send emails to the seller in FS market place.

I was just about to ask this same question. Took a fair bit of searching to find this. I say this should be a sticky or something easily accessible. Granted, I joined a couple months ago and didn't post until recently, so maybe I missed that when I first joined.

Hehehe it is a sticky, admittedly in "The Lounge" It might not really be in everyones face, esepecially since (assuming this is the same as the old "Off Topic" forum, this one is only viewable by subscribed members.

Anyway welcome midnightg35x I'm just being a little facecious due to a couple of glasses of red. Drink Posting.... <insert your deity here> help us

Any chance I can post normally from now on instead of waiting for a moderator to approve every post?

Unless you have behaved yourself the moderators must have forgotten you. Around 5 posts is enough to be let free.
