OK, I'll try to be delicate about this, and I apologize if I put this in the wrong forum.
As you saw from my previous thread, my son and I are still new players, and we have a long way to go, but we do enjoy the game (although I personally wish it was less "twitch".) Personally, as a father concerned about the content of games, I'm happy we found a game without foul language and blood/guts all over the place.
But my concern is with the site's "welcome" to this forum itself. I was frankly surprised how long and tedious it was to get anything posted in a prompt manner. As you may know, someone new to this forum can make ONE post per day here, AND that one post needs to be approved by a moderator before it will show up, AND this process needs to be repeated FIVE times before you are, like I am now, "free at last".
Other Wikis/Forums I have joined just list their rules, warning that we'll be banned if we violate them, but they let us start to post and ask questions immediately. Not trying to be rude here, but it seemed a little extreme for someone like myself to automatically be viewed with such skepticism, like my hand needs to be held and someone needs to look over my shoulder for the first several days. And as far as waiting for a moderator to approve each post, this did not happen quickly (at least not for an impatient person like myself). Sometimes it was waiting over 24 hours per post. The delay/lag was so impactful that in my original thread you "guys" wondered if I was still here, because I had not responded to the great advice you were offering. I WAS here and trying to respond, but it just took forever for you to see it.
Well, I'm here now, and hopefully this post won't get me into trouble, so it's not an issue for ME anymore. BUT HERE IS WHY I BRING THIS UP: I've seen a lot of threads where people are complaining about how many have left the game and how important it is to get (and keep) new players like my son and I. I fully agree. And this is why I suggest that the "new member" standards for this forum be relaxed. I am not a patient person by nature, and it was tempted to give up asking my questions on these forums because I was so limited. I GUARANTEE that there are other people out there who had some questions to ask, but could not tolerate these new member restrictions. And to me, it is bad for the game if new players don't have a convenient way to ask all the questions they want to, and to get quick answers.
Thanks for listening :)
