curious

I started a thread this afternoon and received the message :This thread requires moderator approval".

I asked my niece if she could start this thread to see if she received the same message, Her thread posted immediately.

Who was the **** moderator who marked me as subject to thread moderation?

Normally they do not. It might be because your account has been unused for well over a decade.

It has nothing to do with who you are... it's really kind of random
I HATE THIS SOFTWARE
Usually it happens with certain links, or some other such nonsense.
I try to approve stuff as fast as I can.

It was me braindead that was moderated.

Again...nothing to do with you specifically.

Thanks. I was surprised because I am not the only one that starts idiotic threads. Sometimes I even start sensible threads that generate a lot of discussion, in my lucid moments,
