      Then welcome back to Forum and come aboard.
      I’m all for free speech but not when it attacks other members.
      If Forum and Achat Rules are abided by then we can all get along and respect each others views, opposing or not.

      I also rely on members to tell me their experiences of forum.
      Achat have given me authorities and where I believe we all have the same facility, disappointingly, I find later, it is not the case, usually by accident.
      An example is the multi-link & pic in 1 post. Suddenly, I have it as Moderator. Then discover, you do not. (I have asked Achat to allow it for members though)

      The lack of communication and notification is frustrating but it seems the norm with Achat. They are working on a new update though, so it seems forum is far down their list of priorities.

      We really do discover things by trial and error so please do not assume there are battle lines drawn between members and things are done to sleight people.
      We usually know as much as you. If we discover things, we post them for everyone’s information.

        Thanks Kin for posting.
        I do not really understand all the tech but appreciate it may be useful to some members and that you have bought it to the attention of Achat’s support to include in a new update.

          Thank you. Please do, its the first I have heard of it.

          I have however, been part of other forums where there was such a practice.
          It was automated and more for new members who joined. It was a tool to prevent trolls and alts from ruining the platform, not just in hostile posts but in things like voting and competitions.
          It also ensured the rules of posting were read first and the posts fit to be published. If they weren’t the member could be directed to amend the post or it could just be deleted without consultation as the breach self evident.

          Each new member had to have around 10 to 20 posts checked in a probationary period before being promoted and allowed to “post” on their own.

          I would not be adverse to such a practice for new joins as the pros outweigh the cons.

          However as far as I am aware, you are the first person to have bought this to the notice of the forum.
          It would be worthy of discussion and all views sought of active forum members before a decision is made for implementation here.

          New things are bought in and taken off in Forum without notice. A classic example is the “forum tools” menu bar – “insert image; bolding etc…”
          Unfortunately we have to discover them ourselves and are left to our own devices to figure them out.
          Luckily we are all working together to do so and where I can, I then publish instructions for all to try in the “test” topic.
          If someone provides better instructions, I’ll most likely adopt theirs or amend mine.

          Its not ideal but all we have.
          I would prefer you work with us to make this place better for all, than cause hostilities and keep that chip on your shoulder to fester.

                    Its news to me.
                    I am not aware of any topic having to be approved first.
                    I’m not even sure who approves it.
                    All my topics have gone through before and after being moderator.
                    So I would also be interested in anyone who has had to go through this “process” first

                    Perhaps you could screen shoot it so we can all see it. Thanks.
