Why does my classified now need approval?

[buddhasummer]

Please report back. I don’t think I’ve approved the same person twice unless it’s someone who posted 30 classifieds at the same time.

Looks like a first for you

Mission accepted.

Well, dammit. I will tell the powers that be that it doesn’t work as advertised and see what happens. But I got chu again.

On another note, I thought you were in Japan. Did you move?

I did a search for "approv" and only the following were found:

You will also have to be approved to post in our classifieds section. Expect a short delay on your first post.

Your first post in a classifieds forum will be approved manually by a moderator. Please expect a short delay.

Your question still remains unanswered, I'd say.

I changed the wording here to make it clear.

I see.

A mystery I can now remove from my mystery book.

Is this to help prevent scams?

Hopefully yes, the minimum post count was also increased to 25, and posts reviewed and may be deleted for reasons left to the Mods, like one word posts of "Great" and "Welcome" that are used by some possible scammers to increase their post count.
