Question for a moderator/admin: How long do forum accounts stay in moderated mode?

Hi there.

I assumed it was a temp thing but been here and posting a fair bit since FH4 came out. Date is low due to time from when forza first came out but never partook in forums. But it still gives me message that my profile is set to moderated and posts must be approved. While I understand why new accounts will have this, it does make it problematic for giving feedback, updating my posts etc.

Is it something that all people have for an extended duration or is there more that I am unaware of? Perhaps a settings error?
