Hi

Awaiting approval before being displayed publicly.

At others also?

This is to protect against SEO people and spammers. You first need some standing and reputation to be allowed to roam free. Just as with kids.

[...] new members are moderated for the first ten posts or the first ten days, whichever comes last.

I don't think it has changed much.

Only change is that it's 10 posts and 10 days.

We've all went through it. Just keep posting good content and helping out

Don't post crap though, those will get deleted in the queue and will never see the light of day (deleted posts also don't count towards that 10 post threshold).

It's upsetting to wait, sometimes entire day, for your post to be accepted. However, one of my posts was rejected. Thanks to that, I know what content is not welcomed here. This system was good idea, 10 days/posts is not much, but enough to keep forum consistent.

 

[SirDice]

It's mostly to keep out the riffraff. We get plenty of those too. You never get to see those

During the weekend it might take a little longer for things to get approved.

Nobody on here would use a fake profile picture or fake name would they?
