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.

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.Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin

I was wondering, I mean I just can't see anyone getting into flame wars over how to adjust their brakes or something

But then again, I've been on the 'net long enough to know better 
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.Last edited by Heifzilla; 04-14-2009 at 12:38 PM.

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. Originally Posted by snapdragen

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. Originally Posted by Mr. Silver

Great! I'll forward all the WOW Gold spam to you! And let me tell you, there is a LOT of it! Are you also interested in discounted cell phones or fake Gucci watches? I can send those to you, too. Originally Posted by AnnieBikes

16 spam posts deleted this morning. A weird one was a link to a place to buy magnets from China. Odd!
