It’s not uncommon on ANY private forum for new members to have their posts moderated. It saves everyone a lot of headaches & aggravation. When it’s shown the poster didn’t sign up just to cause trouble they are taken off moderation & their posts show up immediately. I wouldn’t take it personally.
I hope they don't have to wait a long time. And I feel sorry for the well-intended newcomer that has to go through this, but since there's been a notable decrease in ZOTS lately...it obviously is working.
