Help From Mods Please Regarding Posts.

Post by Quercus-robur »

Hi Guys,

I understand that my first 10 posts must be moderated before I can have full access to the forum. I personally agree. I think it stops unwanted people joining and bringing down the forum and ensures everyone who joins is polite and civil. My question, though, is that I have currently made 9 posts, 7 of which have been approved by a moderator, yet on my profile it says I have only made 5 posts. Why is this?

I only ask because I am confused by it and also can't wait until I have earnt my place on this forum. :D

Cheers

You don't have to wait between each one go for it interact, it's there to stop spammers I believe, and if you're making worthwhile posts you're OK even if it doesn't count the first few ;)
I have a strategy, it's not written in stone, nor can it be, this scenario has too many variables, everything about it depends on those variables, being specific is not possible.

Cheers. Yeah my posts have slowly creeping up so I will get there soon. I have read that after 10 moderated posts I will be able to PM people, post un-moderated and also have access to additional forum threads. I look forward to it. Was mainly wondering because according to my profile it seems further away.

Just to clarify, posts in the members start here forum don't count towards your overall post count.

It stops people from just saying hi on ten posts to get unrestricted forum access.

Hope that helps!
