Thanks for the support Ash. Appreciated
To R33Matt -
As Ash said, we aim to get the threads/posts released as soon as we can.
The way moderated posts work is this:
You make a post/thread. It doesn't show up for you. Instead I get an email immediately with the details and a link. I will log onto the forums, check the thread/post and then release it from moderator review if it is a correct post/thread. If it is a complete new forsale thread and is not correct, I will PM the OP and ask them for the missing information. Once received I will edit their thread and release it. If it is just a comment in the thread of "nice car mate good luck with the sale" then I will just leave it in moderator review as it is against the rules.
Usually I will come to work 30 mins early each morning, get a coffee and sit down and go through all the emails requiring moderation on SAU before I get on with my normal work load for the day.
On weekends I'm not at work so this process is held off until Monday morning.
The other 2 WA mods do this process also, however only one of us can receive the emails so they can only check on what can be immediately seen on the first page. If someone were to update a thread 2 months old, they wouldn't see this update as it would be 5 or 6 pages back.
We do endeavor to get your posts released in a timely matter. But please remember that we do have normal lives outside of the forum as well and sometimes we can't always be online to immediately release posts.
