Some forums moderated?

[Heifzilla]

Are some forums here moderated and some not? I posted yesterday in Commuting and my thread was there right away and today I tried to post in Maintenance and I got an announcement saying it was put in for moderator's approval. Why would the maintenance forum be moderated and others not be? Just seems like a weird forum to be moderated.

:confused:

Us maintenance geeks are real foulmouths and troublemakers, ya know ;)

Just kidding. It sounds like a glitch. I think there are moderators here who will step in and ask people to cool down or moderate themselves occasionally, but it doesn't happen often.

I was wondering, I mean I just can't see anyone getting into flame wars over how to adjust their brakes or something :D But then again, I've been on the 'net long enough to know better :rolleyes:

I haven't seen my post come up yet, either, so i wonder if it got lost in the ether.

edit: I just reposted it and it came up right away this time.

It depends. If you are a new poster (I think it's under 5 posts), and you have any kind of a link in your post, it will get moderated until one of us admins approves it.

ETA: I found your moderated post, it had a picture link. I've cleared it, you should see it now.

Thanks, that one with the pic was actually a different one and I had unthinkingly hotlinked in it, so I figured that was why that one was moderated. It was another one that I had posted to the Maintenance forum that was all weird.

No biggie :) I'm just new here and learning the forum quirks :)

Wow! Great Idea!

Wow! Great Idea!Yeah, you'd be shocked how much stuff never makes it to the board. There are post for wedding dresses, shoes, discount handbags, diet pills, and plenty of good old porn! I probably delete a dozen spam posts per day.
