Going to see if this post goes through without authorization. If it doesn't I won't be returning to this forum. If a post takes 3 weeks to show up there isn't much sense in posting at all.

I assume once your authenticated you'll be free to fire away.

Not sure why the moderation duties couldn't be given to a trusted user who is more regular as this seems to be a common complaint.

That is correct. I wish the board would notify me when we had a new user or a new user trying to post. There have been weeks I visit the board ever couple days with not one NEW user. Then we will have a week with 2-3 new users. We also get plenty of fake users which wastes my time. If anyone shoots me a PM I get an email, sometimes in my inbox then others in my junk/spam folder. Its a balance sometimes so I appreciate the patience although from how it sounds like a mutiny is on the horizon.
