    I give up

    I've made so many attempts to post on this site but I guess I'm destined to always be in moderation hell.

    Already paid my money for the Orca Run for my girlfriend and I so I guess I wont waste it and will be there this weekend but I doubt I'll be a participating member of DualSportBC going forward as nothing I post ever gets seen by anyone.

    Good luck. Have fun. Adios. Feel free to delete my account if any Admin ever sees this.

    Welcome to the site.

    I have no idea why you were having problems with the forum. Our first encounter was your email barrage last night.

    You signed-up in March. Your welcome note indicated that you'd have limited access until your first post, which after 'moderation' you would have full rights. Here you are...

    All of us that work on this site are volunteers. We appreciate your patience.

    See you at the Orca. I'm the bald fat fuk with a red jacket on a yellow Husky.

    Mark, taking into account the seriousness of the situation, thanks for my first good laugh of the day.

    davidhowell, don't give up. "test your posts" isn't a subforum that gets read by others. It's as it states "test your posts". Not sure if you're up to speed posting pictures, rather than clutter up a thread with an experiment try it here, etc, etc. Your post in the Orca thread showed up fine but really didn't warrant a response as such. New to forums in general perhaps? Hang in there, don't give up! Oh yeah, WELCOME to DSBC.

    Another admin here

    David, you give up to quickly, I noticed that all your posts that were being moderated where made yesterday. How big a paid staff do you think we are running here? The answer is ZERO. Everyone here does what they can when they can and I think they do a pretty good job with the budget they are given to work with. Now that you have this information I hope you will be a little more understanding.

    Thanks for the welcome. I posted this thread based off the other posts in here that possibly this was the only place I had rights.

    The only reason my posts are now showing up is because my girlfriend msg'd a mod and an admin last night asking what was going on with my account and why I could never post anything. She and I both joined within a couple days of each other and she never had any problems with her account or posts. I had actually attempted to create a thread back when I first joined to say hi and was informed with a message that I didnt have permission to do so.

    The only reason that I was frustrated and attempting to participate here is because I was going to go over for the Orca Run this weekend and would have liked to make a few posts to say hi and whatnot.
