you must give the information in such a way that it satisfies the person who is asking. You must also avoid plagiarism and must create your own content.

You're joking, right?

The only two things a person has to do to get "approved" is to (1) follow forum rules and (2) wait until a moderator has the time to approve their account.

Hello everyone. Just a quick message to try getting approved. I started a new thread a few ours ago to ask some advice but it's not showing yet. Thank you in advance !

Hello, I have a similar situation to OP--been reading tips on the forums for a while but haven't actually needed to post until a few days ago. I'm trying to post and message people but it keeps wanting to wait for moderator approval.

Are there any steps I need to take to be approved?

Thank you!

As your post is showing here I think you've now been approved.

There may be a second stage approval required for starting a new thread (I don't know) but I'm fairly sure once a post is approved you're OK to post again.

The main thing to remember is that the moderators aren't paid and have their own lives to live. So sometimes approval might take a while, IMO it's usually remarkably quick!

You are quite right. Approval is complete.

Gosh - I've been seeking other people's approval my whole life. Good to know I am not alone ;-)

Quite simple really......He/she has been approved!

But .. but why? We can't just have people in France amble around and sending messages to people. It's not natural.

Hi Footski,

I am in the same situation as Jon and would like to PM a member to avoid resurrecting an old thread. Would you mind approving me so I can reach out to them? Thanks!

Hello, I take it this is the official approval thread?

How does it work? Do I post here first and wait? Because I think I broke the rules--I made a thread without approval.

You are now fully approved..

HolaAmigo · May 4, 2021

How long does this normally take?

Footski · May 4, 2021

It depends on how often the Mods check in. You have been approved. Enjoy the site.
