    Default Post awaiting moderator approval

    Sorry if this is mentioned somewhere, I had a look around before asking.

    But is there a post count I have to reach before I can post directly to the forum without mod approval?
    It's just that my posts have been taking hours to be approved and I'm wondering how I can speed it up. I'm not looking to spam the forum, just a way to have a quick convo or get some quick advice/purchase at the market.

    UPDATE:
    I just worked it out, the answer is 42. No, it's 3
    Now all I gotta work out is how to delete this thread.

    If you go "Edit Post" within the next few hours or so you'll be able to delete the thread.

    Nope I don't see it, I clicked edit post on my first post and all I have is 'Edit post' save/preview changes and then additional options w.r.t attachments, subscription to thread. No delete thread that i can see.

    I wasn't able to find the delete thread, but when i posted that, i got this message again:

    Thank you for posting! Your post will not be visible until a moderator has approved it for posting. You will now be taken back to the forum. If you opted to post a poll, you will now be allowed to do so.

    I thought I had gone past the 3 posts, spammer thing, but I'm starting to get it again... I was able to post to the welcome forum and see my post immediately.

    Yes there are a certain number of posts before your posts goes straight through, especially if you have a url link in your post.

    Moderators are volunteers, who strangely enough also have a life of their own, so sometimes it takes a little while for one of us to get around to approving posts in moderation.

    Patience is a virtue my friend

    In the meantime enjoy your time, both on and off te forum.
