Posts go to moderation

[Katiebug]

Thanks for posting this. I am also new. I figured my posts were going to moderation for that reason, but wondered if if was temporary and if so for how long - if it was for a certain amount of time or if it required a certain number of non-spammy posts.

We have a set algorithm to determine when a user exits the "new user" status, but to prevent bot makers from exploiting it we don't make the details public. Suffice to say legitimate users will quickly exit while bots will never exit.

That's fancy shmancy speak for "When we let you out of the cage".

Thanks for letting me out of the cage!

I've still have posts stuck in moderation that I posted last week. How often do the mods approve posts?

More often than this, usually. We try to do it at least daily but apparently some people are slacking (probably cause of some silly holiday or something)

Sorry about that - you are out of the probationary period now.

Thanks for the assistance.

I'm generally in DEMM every day throughout the entire day and have approved quite a few new posters in recent days/weeks; however, most moderators only have access to their particular forum is my understanding.
