Hi patches, I hear your concerns. Let me explain ours. We intended this to be a small place for kittens to post their original work. The easiest way to accomplish both goals is to have approval of messages. In truth, we release 99.9% of things posted. However, occasionally there are brand new members posting their original work here. This the only kind of moderation we've done here.
Instead of dealing with the complaints about where something went, it's better if we have to release things.
I respect your problem, but I feel we have a pretty quick turn around. Most things are released right away and rarely will something have to wait more than a few hours (usually when posted overnight). If you post in the evenings (pacific time), I can personally guarantee quick releases.
If you feel something didn't post right, just post it again and say delete the other one. Or you can perhaps be a little more careful before posting, use the preview feature, etc.
I am also willing to hear more arguments though if this is a huge problem with people.
I wish ezboard had a feature that allowed only certain posting levels to post in a forum that would make this completely unecessary.
