Thank you for your feedback.

The moderation queue is necessary to stop forum spam, a serious problem with today's discussion forums. We have a number of features in place to help with this; this is one of the most effective. We remind new members of the moderation of their posts when they register, and again when they receive my introductory Private Message.

While we understand it may be frustrating to wait a few hours for an initial post or set of posts to be approved, it results in a completely spam-free environment for our members. We think it's a small price to pay for such a safe and supportive community.

Best,
DocJohn
