Hello everyone.This is my second post. At the very first look, the site is really impressing and it is worth joining. But after my first post, a message came telling that the post will be shown only after the approval of moderators.THIS IS REALLY IRRITATING. I am not going to spam your website.

I think if anyone is spamming the website, we can remove his/her post afterwards and can put a temporarily/permanent ban depending on the post. WHY WE SHOULD SUFFER ? I am sure no matter how many moderators do you have or from how many countries they belong to, they cannot monitor every post 24 into 7.This is affecting your sincere users who talk only of computers and nothing else.I think we should change this system.

THIS IS JUST A SUGGESTION. I APOLOGIZE IN CASE I AM OFFENDING ANYONE.

Thanks!

Hmmm... I've never seen that message.... well, if it is there, it is not meant to irritate anyone. There are good reasons for what moderators do

Hope it does not deter you from future postings...

you probably used some some punctuation or other things that the filter picked up. As soon as a mod see's it they'll approve it. Patience is a virtue. BTW, welcome aboard.:wave

Not to often does that do that. And even with "this protection filter " many things still get passed it and post useless links to order there cheap items. Also welcome to the forum, no hard feelings. :wave

Hi and Welcome

At times as said the spam filter can kick in and moderate a post, its due to many things and main one is the usage of ....... between sentences and words, also posting of the likes of HJT logs in the body of the post (the email conformation recieved on joining has info on what to do if you have malware and attaching logs).

But sadly due to spammers some posts are accidently moderated and this sadly is a byproduct of spam, and we have to accept this as we would rather moderate a potental spam post than subject our members to malware infested links that spammers post.

I have noted your moderated post and have now approved it but you do need if you wish to remove any malware to follow this guide READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide and attach as requested the logs to your thread.

Have no idea why your post was singled out, so sorry for that and hope this doesnt spoil your love of the forum and site.

Many regards

Welcom to the forums.
As suggested it could be the filters have blocked it, if you use a lot of capital letters in your first post it will do that.
I hope you decide to stay with us.

I am not allowed to answer in the malware forum where your first post is but i had a similare problem with some flash drives and maybe there is some help that was posted for me, just hover your mouse over the link below and click it.
