Strange

I posted about the rear cargo cover and it went right up.
I just added a comment to what other people had said and it says I have to wait for a mod to approve my post.

Why does the comment have to be approved but not the original post?

Since you're a 5 post wonder, your posts are still being screened in case you are a scam troll boy.

Thanks for the snarky reply. But that doesn't answer the question,
Please reread what I said.

This forum like many is a vBulletin product. There are a large number of evil thinking people out there that are designing software to post robotically or human generated links, adds and any bad thing you can think of on such forums. The admin and mods of this forum make it so any reply to a thread have to be approved before it is posted until you get to a specific post count. Pictures are often limited the same way.

I am a moderator on a military truck forum that gets maybe 15 post a day. We found it is easier to just delete the spam post than approve every post by every newbie. However, we get a lot of real people that show up and join just to post a classified and are never seen again. So we limit all classified post to people with more than 10 post.


I am not trying to step on management toes by putting out this explanation of things as I see it. Sorry if I did.

I understand but I had previously commented on that thread and posted pictures with no delay.

I understood your question, the snarky reply was just a regular Snotty reply, don’t let it irk you too much.
But as my earlier reply, it is what it is. How were you able to post some pics? Did a moderator help you? Sometimes, with only 5 posts under your belt, the system, set as it is, will still hold you up, I think until you get to 12 posts, then it lets you do what you want.

No one helped me. Someone said they had never heard of one without the net so I posted a pic of a headliner with out the holes for the hooks and a couple of pics of my car as well.

Like I said, strange.
