With your post level being what it is and you are new, posts containing links, images or videos must first be approved by a Mod.
Yes, only there doesn't seem to be anyone around who actually bothers approving posts.
Not when you have that attitude, no.
And spamming the same thing 4 times doesn't help with approval either, especially when you have no other posts than that linking to a different forum.
I have been trying to get that message across for around a week now, I tried various sections, and then retried after I made an introduction thread.
Surely it can't be too much to ask to not have to wait a week for a single post to go through?
Also, I wasn't actually aware it didn't let me post because of my link, it seemed to me like you were straight up not allowed to post in any of the hardware related subs until you got a certain post count--in a hardware forum of all things!
What if someone came here with a question about, let's say, his waterpump failing and including a video with the noise of it? Or if, regardless of the reason, his question required a link to somewhere else? Would he have to wait a week until his post gets approved?
Does thread approval have a higher priority than post approval? If not, making newcomers wait a week until their threads can be seen isn't very good practice.
You also have to take into consideration that it is the weekend and we have i55 (Insomnia Festival) going on too. I'm not a mod so I have no idea what their load is or how it works all I can say is be patient with them and they will get around to it.Yes, only there doesn't seem to be anyone around who actually bothers approving posts.
Did you try contacting a mod before you made duplicate threads in an attempt to get one through? The mods on this site work hard and do what they can. From experience, they get back to you very quickly. There is no need to be rude or condescending.
