    Some of posting I made I got this:

    Thank you for posting! Your post will not be visible until a moderator has approved it for posting. You will now be taken back to the forum. If you opted to post a poll, you will now be allowed to do so.

    Why???

    In an attempt to cut down on unwanted spam, you fell into an automated filter.
    This is a standard practice on just about all forums these days.
    Spammers of all types, out number members by at least a 100 to 1.
    With those types of numbers we have our work cut out for us to keep the flow of the forum, the members enjoy. Without it this forum would just become a massive Spam Board.

    Thanks for the explanation. Hopefully self-promotion is not considering spam. I'm here to help out members in need of templates and websites and promote my project odCMS at the same time. It seems that my postings need approval eventually were posted.

    Did I get demoted?

    I was a Senior Member for a while and now I’m back as a Member. Did I get demoted?

    Did you delete 1 of your posts? you'll be back up to a senior with your next post by breaking the 100 mark. (well that's how I see it)

    I'm on social security and not due to disability. iskey knows what that means.

    Forest, you just starting out at 40, you still have a long way to go.

    You're right! I'm a Senior again.
