What does it need for a member post to be unmoderated?  I post mostly in either Los Angeles or Las Vegas?

Thanks for the response.

PM your board moderator and/or Girl Next Door with your request.  If you're not a VIP member, you won't be able to do this and will have to wait till you've been on a couple of months w/o any bad behavior.  At that time  you'll notice that your posts are being set live.

All TER members start out on moderated posting status, which means your post must be read by the board moderator before it is approved for viewing. TER moderators have differing moderating styles, which results in different standards as to what kind of posts they will and will not allow on the boards they moderate.

It is also left up to moderators of the regional discussion boards to change the status of their posting members to unmoderated.  Individual moderators have varying criteria for unmoderating members, using length of posting time, posting volume, post content, or some combination of those factors to make a decision.

If you feel that your posting history warrants unmoderated status, send a PM to your regional board moderator requesting that your status be changed.

See thread link below for additional information, including a current list of regional board moderators.

Thanks for your responses and suggestions.

Boy I am slappin my forehead and feelin foolish right now. I wish I had read this thread just five minutes sooner than I did.

LOL I just posted a message asking why there seemed to be a difference in how long it took my posts to appear versus other members on the board who's posts seemed to appear so fast compared to the snail pace it sometimes takes for replies I send to appear.

Now it makes sense. Being a new member (even as a VIP) my status is moderated while others aren't. I didn't realize that a person may become unmoderated after a period of time. So now it makes sense. LOL If I had read this thread first I wouldn't have needed to ask at all.
