Forum, Moderator Review

[gunslingor]

Why does this site require every post to be reviewed by the moderator? Don't they realize this makes the site impossible to use? It also makes the conversation extremely slow... what might take 1 minute to write and say an hour to find someone who can respond, now takes days because of I presume the backlog of posts needing moderator review.

I haven't seen a site setup like this since the early 90s.... what's the deal?
