Or whatever it was.
Will there ever be a time I can post without having to wait for approval first?
How many post have you made? These days it’s quite normal for forum admins to put new posters on moderated posts until they have made a certain number of posts.
All users here start on moderation and getting off it is a matter of proving you have good intentions here and can play nicely with others - what you post will be very important here. There is no set number of posts but posting where the one mod can see them will help - posting infrequently and all over the place makes it harder for one mod to see all your posts.
Hi, I’ve been in moderation for over 2 years. Any chance I can get out of it? I have made more than 10 posts. Or whatever the minimum requirement is.
As I said in the previous post if you post infrequently and in too many different forums here then a single mod will not see your posts (they tend to hang out in their own areas of interest). If you feel you have been accidentally missed though send a PM to a mod - just remember it is at their discretion and if you have given them reason to have you on moderation asking won’t help any.
