Posts have lag time? Have to be approved by moderators

why do all my posts need to wait to be approved by moderators? i'm a new user but wondering how long this lasts as i would like to get to play forum games and stuff.

When a new user joins the site, their first post has to be approved by a moderator. This is to help us keep bot and spam accounts off the forums. The way the post approval system works, if you have a post waiting to be approved, any additional posts you make while waiting for that first one to be approved will also need to be approved until all of them have been. Once they have all been approved then for the most part you should be able to post normally without needing any further approval. For new accounts, posts including images from outside sources need to be approved as well, though this is lifted after your account gets a bit older.
