Will my posts be forever moderated before they are posted? Or at a certain level do they skip that?

At a certain point, new members' posts will no longer be moderated. All topics on this board, however, are subject to approval by a moderator. This helps greatly to quickly eliminate spammers.

I have never seen this before but it seems a good idea that all posts are checked out.

When do I reach that certain point? I have noticed that it is relatively quick that posts get approved by a moderater, but it is a bit frustrating when you have something that you want to be seen right when you post it.

I know it's frustrating at first, but you have to remember questions that are appropriate to a message board pretty much have to be things where you can wait for an answer. Someone with the info you need may not stop by for a day or two. If you're answering someone, they're not likely checking their threads immediately either.

Yeah I was just speaking hypothetically, I'm used to forum posting. But thanks for the reminder tip. I'm actually quite patient...for the most part.

PS I think that certain point is 10... I just posted a post and don't have to have it moderated... For those who are curious in the future.

I gotta say, I was just about to make a similar post.

Personally, I find the pre moderation rather frustrating. It takes away the dynamics of a forum.

I run a forum with 2 million members and am admin at another with 4 million posts. So I do understand the issues with spammers. BUT a good moderating team, can surely handle that? Rather than pre approving all posts, simply delete the spam. That way it doesn't take away from our Experience.

Sometimes members will want answers asap, but have to wait until their post is approved before they have a chance in receiving a response.

Even if there were a veteran group, that were allowed to post without moderation it would be something? Surely after say 50 genuine posts, we've proven we're not spammers? I'd like to think so. Obviously spammers won't reach 50 posts, as their posts will never be approved.

Anyway thanks for listening and for an otherwise great resource.

Paul~ You got some points. Although, I cant imagine it bein too much a hindrance for members, as it is only ten posts that have to be moderated. And look you are almost there. Besides I think its a good idea in a lot of ways because then you dont need to worry about makin a fool of yourself if you make a spammy post, or break a rule or two, and the admins can catch it right away. I am certain that the admins would help you should you ever find yerself with a post that never got approved.

Also like was mentioned before, if you need somethin answered, it makes no difference if you need to wait five minutes for a post to be approved, as this is a forum that caters to all over the world. It often will take at least a day before you get your first answer anyway. And I did notice that there is almost always a moderator on to approve posts, so I can almost guarantee you will never need to wait long for an approval.

Anyway, welcome to the forum!

The mods don't get to make the rules around here. I think we do a pretty good job of approving the posts quickly, and the moderation period for a new member is such a short time, comparatively speaking. I personally believe that it works around here. By the time I go to bed someone is waking up in Eastern Canada :P There are occasionally some slow times during the day when a post may languish for an hour, but not much longer. We do all have lives after all and our efforts are all volunteer. And all posts are addressed. If a post is deemed unacceptable for some reason the poster is given an opportunity to comply with the rules, and perhaps a warning. Blatant spammers are not given any leeway, nor do they deserve any.

Actually I was happy to see my first few posts moderated. To me it was a sign that the forum administrators cared enough about who was posting that they were willing to take the time to review all the new messages.

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates? https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms. I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free. Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative. In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken. Major mistake!

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
