I have a few questions about the forums.

Hello, I have a few questions about the forums, my first one is what are those strange titles under peoples names and how to get them.

Welcome to the forums, @Zackghostgamer!  I don't remember, but you may need to break past your 5 approved posts before you can do this.

[Zackghostgamer]

Thanks.

Hi! And welcome! I'm relatively new too. I wondered if there is a secret recipe to being able to post freely on the forums? I've made about 15 replies (and I promise, I'm a real human being, and following the community rules!) but I'm still getting the message that my posts need to be approved by a moderator.

No secret, it unlocks as soon as you've made five posts.

Yes, but they've nearly all been in The Lounge and/or Forum Games, which don't count.  Note that your post count only says "5 posts", not 15.

The good news is that with this post itself you now have 5 "real" posts, so actually you ought to be good to go as of now.

You're not fooling us. We can tell you're a spambot. It's in the eyes.

Aha, thank you for clarifying!
