Not much sense being a member of a forum if all you can do is read!
Thanks
Edit: Oh , this post went thru?

As a new user we choose to moderate the first few posts with links or pictures attached due to a number of crafty spammers who have at times flooded this (and other) forums with their spam/scam posts. I check in when I can to see what needs to be moderated at that time. I then have to go in and manually look at every one of those posts (more than you think) to either remove it, or approve it.

Hope this helps you understand the procedures on this forum. It's what you do not see in the background that takes the most time.
