Then simply ask. In line with my motto of more freedom of speech and less moderation.

You will qualify to be UNMODERATED if you have more than 3 reviews and a regular poster as a general member.

SPs will qualify if they have more than 3 reviews and follow the ad posting guidelines. #1 reason for being moderated is not following the ad posting guidelines.

Simply send me a PM and begin to post. The next time you should be UNMODERATED.

Can I make it any easier?

Why even ask that question? You have the sufficient amount of reviews? Why is it never enough when someone wants to go the distance to help others out? We are all MEN and WOMEN, not little children. DVNYC is trying to loosen it up for all of us. Go with the flow...Thanks dvnyc for all you do.

In order to send a PM you need to be VIP.  Is being unmoderated only available to VIP?

So assuming the question wasn't rhetorical (tho it might have been), I figured cutting the required number of reviews down might meet that objective.

I wasn't being unappreciative.

As much as I'd like to unmoderate everyone, there needs to be some bar.

You have to be a regular contributor otherwise, what's the sense of belonging to a membership?

This benefit seems to cater to Hobbiests only
I understand there's a need to moderate Providers that are REPEATEDLY attempting to advertise more than once a week
(NOW I'm not referring to a once in a blue moon making an oopsie" and posting more than one time in a week type of mistake)
I wonder....
Can a well known seasoned in posting Provider that has a pretty good track record in following Discussion Board rules be un-moderated as well?-
Anyone can flub up and mistakenly venture out of the boards proper etiquette guidelines once and a while UNINTENTIONALLY
There's always an option to give the
POST/PIC HAS BEEN REMOVED K.O. stamp
and/or take someone off the (un)moderated list all together or maybe give a warning or something?
I guess I can really complicate something that was meant to be reeeeeeeeeeeally easy-LOL

Everyone is Moderated when they start on TER.  This applies to men and women.  Un-moderation comes after showing a history of reasonable posting, and that you can follow the rules.

Anyone can get moderated again for doing something wrong. A few years ago I was moderated for 60 days for posting an ad on behalf of a provider that did not have a computer.

This is a great idea. I know that I am sometimes reluctant to post because I knew there would be some "lag time" between when I posted and when it would appear.

Thanks for effort; I think this will make the discussion board a lot more relevant!
