KenD500 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I've tried starting a new topic in the Patrol Method sub-forum with no success. Are the new topics getting moderator approved before posting happens? Or do I just need to be patient? What am I doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJCubScouter Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Just to confirm, moderator approval is NOT required to start a new topic. Though now that you mention it, in a certain area of the forum, maybe that wouldn't be such a bad idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stosh Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Welcome to the forum. Sorry you are having difficulty. I do know there's some sort of newbie limits that weed out spammers, Maybe once you get this post through things will work out. If not and things don't improve for you, let me know on this forum and I'll chase down a moderator to get some help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stosh Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 (edited) I'm thinking a moderator has to approve the first posting and then the validating thingy goes away and so will the problem. Edited September 21, 2015 by Stosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclops Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Well I was 'accepted' but here's a repeat of what I wrote back in the beginning in response to the unfriendly message the site posts to newcomers: "Wow, I just re-read the wording that describes how new members are 'accepted' and saw this: "This is mandatory for all new members to help us stop spamming and keep the forum clean of dirt!" ....or....'old' members (a.k.a. good ole boys) need not worry. That is more than just a little insulting to be 'scanned' by someone to find out how close to 'dirt' I am. It's the kind of welcome that smacks of 'sniffing out' undesirables like certain religions or ethnic groups. It's a pretty shabby way to 'welcome' someone." So it looks like anyone who is new has to be 'annointed' by the all-seeiing-eye or something. Oh wait, I AM the all-seeing-eye...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJCubScouter Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I have been having problem posting on threads. I came here and was able to post. strange Strange indeed. Actually I am surprised you were able to post anywhere, including here. The fact that you are a member of the "Validating" group suggests that you have not yet completed the registration process for this forum. Please check your email and if you have something from this forum, do whatever it says to do, and then you should be fine. Then when you make your "first" post it will be subject to "approval" by a moderator (the only "first" posts that don't get approved are spam) - or maybe it won't be, since your first post is already visible. It will be interesting to see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJCubScouter Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Ok, it turns out I was correct. There was an issue which has now been fixed. Mizmba: The issue that was fixed is whatever allowed you to post in this topic without having completed the registration process. Please complete that process or the system will not allow you to post anywhere in the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
