Why do my posts have to be moderator approved??

I find this very annoying because it seems like it takes a very long time!

By the time my posts make it to the thread they are no longer applicable, yet some can spew nothing but garbage an a daily basis without any kind of moderation.

Your recent moderated post was approved within an hour. Unfortunately we have to take extreme measures to combat violently aggresive spammers and hackers. Once you have proven yourself as a reliable poster (after x amount of posts etc.), all of your posts will show instantly.

What is the value of x?

If you are from Rome, that would be ten. If you were married, the judge gets to decide that number. On a map it is where the treasure is buried.

I don't think anyone approves anything. The system just does that to the new posters.
You will want to copy your posts before hitting post in case it doesn't post then just re-past it and try again.
After X number of posts it will quit doing it and you'll be able to post. I see you already know how many X is.
Like I said just copy your post before hitting post in case you lose it and re-post it until it quits doing it.

Welcome to the forum, hopefully you'll have more to contribute than some of the senior members do on here, if you know what I mean.

you are right
