Why are my posts requiring appoval

[Brianc26]

Hi any time I try and post a reply etc it says it needs admin approval ? Very frustrating to say the least

Certain parts of the forum require approval, which section was it ?

Seems to be something wrong....

 

[Brianc26]

Various sections. Mostly in the hire section or replying to my posts. I appreciate the hire section probably requires admin approval first to stop everyone posting links to there websites etc

I've had this twice now on the Photos section. Totally inoffensive, no web links etc, just referring to the pictures on the thead.

Photos require approval simply to ensure they are related to VWCalifornia. You would be surprised how many get posted that aren't related.

Usually approval is only required in the photo galleries, for sale and for rent sections to my knowledge.

My general posts are now "awaiting moderation" before posting???

Except this one

I'll ask the admins

And again

Only visible to aliens then

My posts to the Insurance section require moderation.

 

[Martin]

It is just certain sections on the froum where we have had spamming before, it should only be:

Insurance
Reviews
Classifieds

Please let us know if another section is moderating posts please as it might be an error

Thanks for that.
Understand why my latest post is awaiting moderation. It's in the insurance section.

I didn't need it for my post last night (under insurance) but did this morning. But understand the general principle and glad it's in place.

Mine were inthe Photos section Martin.
Matt did explain about that previously in this thread but I was posting comments not actual pictures.

Sorry, yes photos aswell, for several reasons:

- Spamming
- Porn images
- Non Cali pictures ( some people have been using the gallery to store their family albums pictures )

Ours as well. We're not posting photo's but rather commenting on others...

It's the section that has the moderation control on it, not the content, so anything posted in the images section, being an image or a comment on one, is flagged up.
