Dave-G Posted January 8 Author Report Share Posted January 8 Dunno but I best go sit outside in the cold for a while to cool down. I aint got this frustrated and downright angry for years Would i be right to say a new members first post has to be approved? Looks like I'm being moderated too now! do new members have to have their first post checked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-G Posted January 8 Author Report Share Posted January 8 (edited) Yes mate - that topic has gone from my activity streams and if i try to post a banner flasshes up and goes too quickly for me to read it what it says EDIT: I'm going to log out for a bit then log back in - if it lets me, I feel like I'm being moderated.

Dave-G Posted January 8 Author Report Share Posted January 8 So I logged off, waited a bit then tried to log back in but got blocked and had to contact admin. Then I tried logging back in and succeeded. This has been a stressful evening. 🙃 Little wonder a new member trying to say he'd bought a SWAT scope I sold him has had major stress trying to join the forum.

welsh1 Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 Don't know what the problem with yourself and your mate is, there have been others join today and yesterday. As for your post vanishing nothing to do with us gov'ner, i have seen it there all day, and yes your friend will be on post approval for a while all new members are, we ban half a dozen russian spammers virtually every day, i think me and @shaun4860 have become pretty good at spotting most of them but some are slippy and managed to get a few posts in before they start their nonsense,so that's why post approval is on.

Cheers for that. 7 hours ago, Weihrauch17 said: Yep how terrible for him, Jesus get a perspective both of you! Who cares if he bought a scope of you? I just wanted him to be able to post on here as he's tried before without any luck either and I was getting a bit frustrated at what was going on for both of us. You have a good day mister and thanks for your helpful contribution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can certainly vouch for the guy who Dave G mentioned about trying to join, as he's a good friend of mine and honest as the day is long. It was me who mentioned this website to him and also put him in touch with Dave regardig him purchasing a scope off him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't having a dig at Dave or his mate although reading it back it might be interpreted that way, I was just saying I didn't know what the problem was, as everything seemed to be working from my view, apologies if it came across wrong.
