I'm sorry if I sound angry, but this is just horribly frustrating.
Every time I post, I have to wait like 10-12 hours before it is visible. Over the past 2 weeks or so, it has often even happened that I want to post something, then I just get a vague feeling of 'why bother', and I just... not post.
Even worse, if I post something addressed to the OP offering an answer/advice etc, and while my post is in the approval-queue, other people post stuff. When my post finally gets approved and appears, it is placed before the other posts. Sure, it is precise timestamp-wise, but it can be that the thread-creator just skips directly to the end of the page to look at the 'newest' post, fully missing mine.
The same problem can also easily happen if there is one of those massive threads, eg. 'How much can I get for my old stuff'. Of course the thread I mentioned moves very slowly, imagine a highly active thread... my post can easily be skipped-over.
When I registered on ThinkDigit, I had to endure mod-approval there as well, but the max I ever had to wait was 1 hour. 15-30 minutes in most cases.
Just how many people are allowed to do the approval?
Wouldn't it be possible to give "reputed" members, ie. long-time/well-known members permission to do this as well, instead of just admin... or whatever the case is now?
It would greatly speed up the process.
