Do you perhaps know if the post approval time is only neccessary during your first few posts or is it always necessary?
I think the first ten posts only require approval, part of the anti SPAM system.
Does anyone know if you get a notification when/if your post is approved by a moderator? And If rejected, the reason for rejection? (Very new to PPRuNe and simply trying to find my way around the conventions here. Thanks in advance.
All Moderators are volunteers, no one sits on site 24/7 to approve posts. The majority of queued posts are cleared between 5:00 am and 7:00 am Australian Eastern Daylight Time. (0700 to 0900 UK time). Some posts may be approved in a shorter time if one of the Mod team sees a post in a thread requiring approval.
The majority of posts are cleared. The few that are rejected/deleted are obviously irrelevant, pointless, impolite or obviously posts solely to increase post counts, usually by those wishing to SPAM the site. No, "rejection messages" are not normally sent.
An example of a rejected and deleted new thread and post from this morning's queue:
Title: very interesting, but nothing sensible
Cool, I've been looking for this one for a long time
