Hi, I'm pretty new here and have not had any problems posting until now. I went to post a reply on one of my threads. Nothing happened when I clicked post. I figured that the window timed out since I took about 20 minutes to write my reply. I tried to post again and this time I got a message saying that I have to wait for a moderator to approve my post. Why did I get this message now after I have successfully posted a few times already? I checked the FAQ but I couldn't find an answer. Does anyone know what could of happened? Thanks.
 
That is strange. Did you try posting a couple sentences in first, then trying to edit in the rest?
 
STS, you have two identical posts between posts # 12 and # 13. These posts are marked as Moderated, and yes, a moderator has to approve them before they will show up for you.

What this is, is an automated system that evaluates posts for possible violations, and occasionally tags a perfectly legitimate post that has formatting characteristics that suggest otherwise.

It catches a lot of spammers that appear on the systems database of bad actors or bad IPs.

In your case it was probably the two supplier links, which may have suggested "spam". I will clear the moderator block.
 
Thanks. It looks like it works now. It looks like post #13 and #14 are identical. Can you delete those both? I have reposted it where I want it.
