It's the programme the site uses. It's to stop spammers postin up for sale threads all over the place without complying to the forum rules. The forum is unable to only make the original post go through the approval procedure with making every post on the same thread do the same, I'm led to believe.
Personally I think the system works fine as I usually just pm the seller if want to chat about something
O ok that makes sense, i would of thought there was an option to only approve the initial post.
The system has been in place for a long time now, and has served us well. Including saving the team alot of hassle.
You, as the general public, don't see some of the dross we disapprove from for sale threads. Which is why the system is there in the first place.
Even with the 15 post rule in place? This surprises me
Cheers for the replies
