Your reply needs to be okayed by a moderator before it gets posted...

What causes this message to pop up?  I wrote a longer reply with a link to a blog page from adayinourshoes as well as a YouTube video.  Was it the length, link or video that triggered the message?

I know we're in beta mode now.  Will this still happen once the new forum is fully up & running?

It was a spam setting.

If you put a link in a post or reply, it would hold on to it. To prevent spam.

So I removed it.

 

If spam becomes an issue, I suppose we'll deal with that then.

Every time someone posts for the first time....you will have to be approved. Subsequent posts should go through without approval.

 

But, if you post a link...sometimes it gets held. If you're a frequent poster, it shouldn't. But bots gonna bot...and they don't always get it right.

I do seem to post on here frequently.  Each & every time I post a link, the orange warning pops up that it needs to be okayed by a moderator.  Sometimes, the link is to the Adayinourshoes website and the bots even block that.
