Hello!

 

I've been commenting on other's posts here for almost a month now, but all my comments apparently go into some "pending moderators' approval" black hole, never to be seen again. If my posts are so bad that they can't be approved, I'd appreciate some feedback as to why. They seem pretty tame to me.

 

This post will also need approval from a moderator before it is shown. So who knows when, if ever, anyone will ever see it.

 

I mean, I really want to know. When?

 

Thanks.

Your first 5 posts or so must be approved by a mod, but after that you should be fine.

It's not you bro. It's a countermeasure against harassing trolls that another member of Reloaded attracted here from another game because of previous actions.

For a while we got spammed by really graphic gore from throwaway accounts and it was judged that this was the only viable method to eliminate them after the usual methods (IP banning, etc) were tried.

I hate it too, as it is a serious barrier preventing new members from joining the community. I do wish posts would be approved faster, but I have no doubt that the anger of those trolls has not dissipated.

Wow, I had no idea. I don't mind the concept; I actually wish more forum communities had something similar. It's just been about a month now and it got frustrating to type long replies and watch them disappear. It's also kind of difficult to get a hold of a mod.

 

This topic was meant more as me jumping up and down waving trying to get someone's attention than anything else. Since its been posted, I guess I got my answer.

Haha I can relate to this.  

 

Yeah I think the 5 post-barrier-to-entry is a good idea, but like X0X13X0X, I've made several posts in the past that simply go from "pending" to "The void," never to be seen.  Was a pretty strong deterrent from joining in on a lot of posts. 

 

Probably got lost in stacks of messages during the chaos of the console release or some-other
