Forum posts requiring moderation

It's frustrating when you spent several minutes banging out a reply only to have the post end up in moderation never-land.

Perhaps I should first write the post in MS Word...

I believe all the legit posts are now approved (and the thousands of pending spam posts are gone).

We've also blocked all non-US IPs from the forums since we don't offer service outside of the US anyway. If someone legit is traveling, they can always contact support to have their IP "whitelisted". Overall this should cut way down on spam since almost all of it was from non-US IPs.

I started a new Off Topic thread and it is held in moderation.
This reply to this thread was immediate.

I guess me new post will never appear?

I posted a FCC report on VOIP penetration a few days ago and was told it had to be approved, it hasn't shown up yet.

My permissions got fixed and I suspect I can make new posts (have not tried.) The previous attempts seem to have been lost as near as I can tell.
