Why can't I post?

I keep getting this message. Is it because I'm a new member?

Sometimes the software will require a moderator to sign off on posts by new members. Sounds like you're caught there. You'll just need to wait a few hours for the moderator in the forum you posted to authorize you to post.

Both your previous posts contained links, which means, as a new member, they get flagged for a SPAM check. They'll both appear in time.

When your very 1st (or first couple of posts) has a hyperlink, our spam trap will catch it. Read this existing thread for more discussion:

You can PM the mods in Mileage Run Deals Forum and see if they can speed it up.

I see. Thanks everyone. I'll just wait it out. It's not too urgent.

It was indeed in the approval queue because it had a link in it. Thanks for drawing it to our attention. Hopefully, folks will weigh in and give you some helpful advice.
