Did you post a link in that missing post ?
Think that you must have a post count above 10 before you are allowed to post links without moderation - not sure ...
It's a spamming safety measure - of course

But I appreciate your concern about the time delay - sorry for that

Anyhow: Welcome to the site - hope you'll enjoy like the rest of us :p

Zaniax is correct - links are probably the problem (it was set up to reduce spam by members that register only for that purpose) and AFAIK, mods are not automatically informed when a post gets sent to moderation by this process. I'll look through your posts to make decisions but you may want to avoid adding links until you reach 10 posts.

So how do the mods actually handle these posts ?

When they are new threads, they show up in the lists of new posts as being 'moderated' and one of us can decide whether to allow them or not (95% are spam and are just left 'disallowed').

When it's a reply like in this case, I guess it's either chance that one of use notices or it waits until we get PMed by the poster asking what's up. It doesn't actually happen too often and reducing spam has certainly made it worth the minor inconvience (of course, the spammers are learning and posting without links, so we still have to carry on the fight).

Are you sure you posted a reply to that thread that never showed up? What thread was it?

Usually if a message simply includes a link to a piece of software or to a thread in this or another forum, I approve the post. The only time I delete posts is if it clearly violates forum policy, is a duplicate to another posting, or if it is pure spam, but then there is a remnant in the thread that regular posters may not see but all moderators see. There is nothing like that in this thread.

I just find it funny that a few months ago we had complaints of the forum being overmoderated...

hahahahaha

I approved the post (this one) a little while ago (after posting the reply above). It has a link to xda developers for a way to save settings and cabs from previous installations and restore them after installing a new ROM. It seems OK to me and is worth having a discussion about (which is what mindleftnumb was asking for).
