The first few posts of new members are subject to manual approving by one of the moderators.

That is why you almost never see spam here. :)

Yup, the spam is usually only visible to us so it gets deleted before it ever hits the open forum. Who needs $20 Nike sneakers anyway. :roll:

I was confused when I first read this question. You had joined in 2007 and your post count is a 25. So I would have thought you were well past the requirement for having your initial posts verified by a moderator, before they appear on the open forum. But I see that you only started to post comments a couple days ago. So yes, your first few would have had to be reviewed and approved, before they made it out in the open.

I can't say "welcome to the forum" this late in the game (and I'm not going to go back to your first few posts to find out if I already said that ;) ), but welcome to active participation in the forum. :)
