What Does a Status of Moderated Mean?

[Admin]

All new Forum members are placed on Moderated status for a short, indefinite, period of time. Users on Moderated status have the same posting privileges and forum access as regular users with the exception that their posts are subject to approval by a moderator before being available for public viewing.

The purpose of the moderation period is to prevent bots and hackers from flooding the forum with spam.

Some Organ Forum Groups, e.g. the Allen Organ Owners Group, do not permit the viewing of their content by Moderated Users. If you are new user and require immediate access to a Group, contact Admin. Note that this restriction applies only to Forum Groups found under the Groups tab. As stated previously, all other areas of the Forum are open to full participation by users with Moderated status.
