You're new here and you've just posted your first thread or replied to a post, but the system is telling you "awaiting moderation before being displayed publicly".
What do you do now?
Well, the answer is simple: wait. Continue looking around, reading, and replying. Once a moderator comes online, you'll quickly find that your post or thread will be approved (hopefully) and become publicly visible. In the unlikely event of a problem with your post, a moderator will contact you to explain.
Once you have made a certain number of posts and been a member for a certain period of time*, your posts will no longer be moderated unless they contain a hyperlink. Threads or posts with hyperlinks (or embedded images) will still be moderated for a while longer to ensure you are who you say you are and that you're not here to fill the forum with spam (such as adverts, fake passports or driving licences or links to a business that you're being paid to advertise, etc).
We ask for your patience in this matter. No-one likes a forum filled with links to dodgy websites or full of unauthorised adverts, and this is one of the ways we ensure that we protect our existing members and our reputation online.
* This time period can be shortened if another member can vouch for you. Get them to contact SatNavSaysStraightOn on your behalf.
