New Comment Moderation Changes | News and Announcements | Writing Forum

If you've recently posted to these forums, you may have noticed that your post was awaiting administrator approval. That's because I had to change some spam settings as we were being bombarded by spammers over the last week or so. 

The new settings shouldn't affect most members beyond their first posts. The first time you post, the comment needs to be moderated. Once you have an approved post, you should be able to comment freely, with no delay. 

Even if you were an older member of this forum, you may have had a comment put in moderation. That's because the changes apply to the first post made after the settings were changed. 

Let me know if you have any questions or problems with the settings not working properly after you have an approved comments. 

Please note: While I'm on vacation for my wedding and honeymoon starting at the end of April through mid-May, I will not be checking the forum for approvals. So if you're a new member posting then, I apologize for the inconvenience. But due to the great increase in spam here, it's a necessity. I'd rather some people wait for approval than let spammers post malicious links that could harm members.
