Id like to know why new forum members can not make posts in certain areas throughout the forum?? To what benefit and why is this?? I am a fairly new member and trying to get involved with the forum however I cant make any posts!!! Recently, I purchased a Hermanns hatchling from one of your long time forum members and ive attempted to leave positive feedback for them and their tortoises and my post was not published!! Why is this??

Hi Jenn:

At the very beginning of the forum, there's a thread called "Read This Before You Make Your First Post."

In this thread it tells new members that their first five posts will be moderated. That is, they sit in limbo until a moderator comes online, reads them then approves (or not) them. Since you have now made five posts, the next one you make should show up automatically.

This is to keep the spam off the forum, and so far it has worked wonderfully.
