Posting Question?

[Jon]

I'm not sure if I need a certain number of posts, or if I missed something of the like, but does everyones' posts need to be approved by a moderator before others can see it?

No, the only members who need to have their posts approved are newly-registered members. Once you are approved for regular member status, you will not have to have each post approved by a moderator. It is inconvenient, but unfortunately, we have had to make a few changes to the forum. This policy helps us keep out spammers and others who don't have the best interests of the membership or the forum at heart.

How many approved posts are we required to have exactly?
I have been looking for this information but cant seem find it.

I posted about a sick chick yesterday, and not that there would have been a difference in the end had my post been posted right away, but I was immediately put in panic mode after i clicked submit, and my post went to moderation for review.

It was not a good feeling in an emergency situation.
I told myself that if my bird had actually died in the interim of my post being approved, I would find myself a different board to use....
That scenario did not play out, so here I am looking for an end to the "probation" period...

Maybe this safeguard could be disabled for like an "Emergency" section of the forum, if there was one?

I am not trying to cause a stir, just wondering how much longer i am probationary member... this should be my 9th post on the board.

I was told after 10 posts they don't have to be approved anymore.
