Do posts get moderated?

[Adsy]

Hi,

This post is kind of a test because I wrote a very long post requiring some help and hit Submit, but it doesn't display in the forum, and I have apparently not made any posts. Is it because it contained a URL it has to wait for approval? There were no windows to tell me that a submitted post would need to be approved before posting.

EDIT: Evidently they do, and I missed the window informing me of this. lol. My bad.

The first few posts for new users are requiring approval. A few months back we had a massive flood of spam posts that were painful to clean up. It is an inconvenience for new users, but we have plenty of mods from all over the world to move legitimate posts through. The only time I rejected a post was when it was submitted several times, I pass one and drop the others.

I usually log on first thing in the morning (we're GMT + 9.5/10.5 daylight saving) and one of the things I look for is post awaiting approval.

I usually notify the poster the post has been accepted, but I'm not sure if the board sends the message to the user's personal email address or their PM box (but suspect the latter).

Anyway, welcome to the forums and I suspect your posts will be automatically accepted soon
