Mods must approve new threads?

I've since changed my mind about this. Almost 4 days ago, I posted a video about changing what was left of my stock shifter bushings with the machined aluminum bushings from Full Metal Bushings. I even reached out to a moderator, asking them if they could give the pending post a bit of a push.

I get that this is the most popular Camaro Forum, and that it probably receives hundreds of new posts and that the mods can't/don't monitor 24/7.

It's just gotten really frustrating.

Get in touch with SSE or Mlee they are pretty good about getting it fixed quickly.

Looking back, looks like mlee already spoke to him about what to do on the PM deal..

I looked back, and this posted on the 27th at 03:54 am, or thereabouts, which means I probably approved it…(I’m probably the only one awake at that hour…) If the worst you got was one thread needing mod approval, and no such issues with posts or new threads since then, well I don’t know what to tell you…

It has been open for two days…

Below are images showing your post/thread starting history, and none of them are “moderated,” and the thread you seem to be asking about and when it was posted… Are you up at that time of the morning, is that when you posted it… or was it possibly missed for a day or so, and that’s when I or another approved it…



There are essentially three people running this site right now, and we put in a lot of hours trying to keep spammers and scammers away, and part of it is occasionally threads get caught in the algorithm that shouldn’t be there… Those are what we have to approve… It isn’t 24 hour immediate service… we have lives too…

Rather than blasting when you’re not happy, how about a pm to mlee or I and we will take a look at it… There’s no need to stew over it… We may not see it immediately, but we will within a day for certain… Hopefully you’ll note the large number of scammers/spammers we are still dealing with…But there’s your thread, 150 views, no comments… I can’t push those…

He PM'd me and I got it yesterday the 29th.

Seems these situations are random but it's really helping keep SPAM off the main forum. Sometimes we don't log in and see PMs very quickly, but it's probably the best way. I'll change my settings to get an e-mail when PMs are sent.

Another solution would be to report it which sends an e-mail notification out to all mods. But I'm not sure if the report button would even be visible. You all could report back on that.

With all that said above, have to say you guys are doing a GREAT job in your forum clean ups. We appreciate what you have, and are doing! Thanks!!
