Why do posts have to be approved?

[cheesegrits]

Just tried to post in the cart thread and it said it will post when approved by a mod. HUH? Do you have to have a certain amount of posts before you are turned loose on here?

It may be the case of something like that. Many forums limit new and low post members' capabilities in an attempt to limit spam. I'd imagine there are a lot of post that the majority of us never get to see due to some posts failing the approval process. Hang loose and I'm certain your submission will be approved in time. I recognize your ID from other sites and I'm certain that at least one of the mods here will as well.

^^^ What he said!
Some times the Spam-O-matic will put a post in Moderator files cuz it don't like a link that is in a post. Don't take it personal; your post is up now!
