Posting Tip Reminders
I have received messages about posts awaiting moderator approval for the past several weeks, so I wanted to share a few tips.
We have several safeguards in place that help prevent spammers from our group. Unfortunately, this happens more often than most would think. For this reason, this prevents members from sharing photos. I’m sorry that this prevents you from sharing things that may be helpful for others.
You can always message Colleen or me or add us both, so whoever sees it first can help if you feel something would benefit the other members.
This also is why links undergo moderator approvals. Most of your links are always approved.
We’ve also had issues recently where some have copied and pasted information from another source. Unfortunately, when we copy and paste from a Word Doc or specific other sources, it comes out in spammer text, so this will be sent to moderators and could be deleted.
None of this is new; it’s in our policies. We are trying to follow the guidelines while keeping our forum safe from spammers. We apologize for any frustrations that this causes. Thank you for your support. Don’t hesitate to contact Colleen or me with any questions.

Thank you for this reminder @jenc. I’ve noticed this message whenever I post a link, and I always figured it was something like this. I’ve never minded waiting, as it makes our group a safer place for everybody.
