PLEASE READ
Your account is in a moderation que, this means the moderators will need to "accept" all of your posts. This happens to all new members until we see that you are ready to post on your own. Normally it will take 1-3 weeks so feel free to post normally as your posts will appear once they are accepted. Please only submit your posts once, when they are accepted they will show up

I joined on 8-1. It is now 9-4. Can you tell me why on earth I am still under moderation? 1 to 3 weeks is and has been over so why?? I still have to get MOD approval to post. I still have not heard a single thing from MOD's about my application to the trade forum and yes I talked to one in PM's who said he would forward my PM's to the person in charge of it.

I have dotted my i's and crossed my t's and I get to be moderated? thanks
I have requested twice to be part of trade forums and talked to a MOD and never heard anything back. thanks
I tried to be patient and now I am posting for others to see. Maybe just maybe you will take me seriously?

I also looked a couple of weeks ago and saw a person (who will remain nameless) who joined about two weeks after me and was able to post in trade forums within a week and a half. Maybe it was because of countless posts for no reason?? But a week and a half after joining they are posting in the trade section and I am still being moderated after a month?? Come on!

Thank you MOD's for listening :) I am no longer on moderation Yay!! now to get enough posts to qualify for trade forums :)

Maybe they didn't think you were ready (Though if they just changed it that wasn't the case.) They just most likely forgot. They have alot to deal with.
