All forum posts by new users are moderated, yes. I do it as promptly as I can, and usually that is not very long. This is necessary because of issues we have had in the past. I apologize for the inconvenience, but for my own sanity it is the way it needs to be.

Also, you clicked on "New Members Click Here" and you were brought to this forum, which includes the Posting Rules thread. You should read that thread, which is why you were directed here in the first place.
