    It is my firm belief, that there is a bug in the way a person posts on here. When you wait a while to post, then, the person(s) decides to post, there is a message that pops up saying your message is being reviewed by our moderator staff, before it is posted, and please don't take it personal. A bug in the system, and it violates 1st Amendment rights. Am I missing something? Thanks!

    Yeah, the point you're missing is that this is not a government site, and is not subject to the 1st amendment. It is a private site that decides what it wants to display. Lots of folks misunderstand what the 1st amendment means or how it applies. It does not apply to private speech or commerce.

    Be nice, and they (the admins) will be nice.

    I believe this is the message you are referring to:

    As it states very clearly, this is automated spam prevention software that is holding your post until it can be reviewed. This software prevents the site from being disrupted by hundreds of spam posts every month, we're not trying to censor you.

    The forum has anti-spam software and randomly picks up on posters that uses links, pictures or even quotes of other posters that drew moderation. It is simply in place to help catch the numerous spammers we get. And there are a bunch of them from Viagra ads to a Russian bride wanting to come to the states. :) You just don't see all the garbage because the mod team stays on top of things.

    As far as first amendment rights... you are on a private forum with a membership and Terms of Service that you agree to when you register. First amendment rights do not apply to private property. The owner chooses to keep a family friendly atmosphere and the forums in general are to be informative. You'll find all successful forums are moderated to keep the garbage out. Nobody wants to hear a bunch of arguing, cussing and fighting. There are specific forums just for that. This isn't one of them.

    You are a new member. I bet you posted a link or picture already is why the system is moderating you. In a few days it will lay off as you get approvals. That's just my take on it. It has a mind of it's own sometimes. But it does a great job finding spammers. Just be patient. Usually a mod is online and will approve a post asap.

    If you think there is a bug here, try spraying your monitor with Raid, and your keyboard with Black Flag. If that doesn't work, call a X-TERMINATER!

    Okay the forum rules say, that there should not be any insults, but yet, I asked something simple, but yet, since I asked something here. Members posting things such as posting bugs, knowingly, I mentioned I was reporting a bug, and then, someone suggest to hire an exterminator, which it is an insult to my intelligence. Trying to be diplomatic, about this, but not saying anything in return as far as response to being insulted. Wow, seriously considering my options here. Thanks, and have a blessed day.
