i don't know what the deal is but i can send pm's and do some other things but i cannot reply or start new threads.

new user posts are being moderated

how long are they moderated?

how long are they moderated?
few hours

How do I loose this 'new user' title? Is it a post count, rep points, or time since joined? I've basically stopped posting because my posts on a hot deal gets burried by other posters or gets dated by developments and thus ignored, so there is no motivation for me to post. I understand why the rule is there but need to know how to shake it loose. I participate in 1-3 slick deals a day and would contribute more to the site if my posts would show up immediately.

we can't say since it'll defeat the purpose. it'll only last a relatively short period.

Is this something you just started recently? I don't remember any delay in my posts.

yes its relatively new. sometime i think in january

I have the same problem...

Thank all the stupid one-post wonders spamming their freewhatever.com referral links for the moderation period.

That does stink cause I can see where Mantas is coming from with me being a new one to this site as well.. but at the same time I do understand the reasoning for it.

I have been wondering why my post and questions were not showing up, the pop up window goes too fast for me to read it all . But I do understand now
Thanks
