New to the forums here.  

 

Probably got about 300-400 hours in and getting pretty close to closing out my career mode tech tree.  Still havent made it to Duna, but have pretty much conquered Mun and Minmus.  Cant wait to get a Duna base and beyond.  Also, have plans for future career play throughs.  Hoping to do a realism overhaul with some life support stuff.  For now, I'm looking forward to getting much needed help and helping others if I can... 

 

Sooo, whats the deal with the mods having to approve posts.  I understand the whole preventing bots thing, but i have a post almost going on 1 week that hasn't been approved.  Is this normal, or is it lost in the ether?  Was trying to figure out if I found a bug or not...

Only your first few posts need to be approved, and then you are automatically changed to a normal forum member. Moderators can still see hidden posts, though, and the only one of yours that is in hidden status is one where you first posted "test?" and then you removed it, leaving only the word "<deleted>". :D We left that one hidden since it conveys no meaningful content. 

Anyway, welcome to our forum.

Thanks!

Yeah, wasnt sure how to delete that post so I edited it to <deleted> :)

It's weird that my question isnt showing up as a hidden post.   The topic is titled "Tourism Contract Bug".  I posted "test?" as a rely to my own question since it wasn't going through.  Should I try to resubmit that post entirely?

hmmm... yep thats the one.  I realize now that the question actually did get posted.  I was misinterpreting the banner at the bottom that says "Your content will need to be approved by a moderator" as meaning it hasnt been posted.  The banner was mearly a message regarding future replies.  ugh, I'm dumb.  Sorry.

...anyone with numbers in their username is automatically flagged as a spambot!

Soooooo they'll have to approve your first 5 posts to clear that up.

What? No, all new accounts go through the approval process. Numbers in the name have nothing to do with it. 

Not what I heard...   any account containing alpha-numeric characters is most likely a spambot, and must be thoroughly vetted.  :P

One could use a spambot with random letters as opposed to random numbers, which would bypass said numeric filter. Every user has to be checked like that. I did.

Yeah, I don't know where you heard that, but considering there's a moderator by username @Dman979 , that is clearly wrong information.

Hell, as a matter of fact, all usernames here contain alpha-numeric characters :wink:

We should not cloud the issue with a bunch of relevent facts!

(If not obvious by now...  my first post and the follow-up were intended as jokes) ;-D

@Daedalus304 welcome to the forum!
