A political post was zombied not long ago, along with the 2 posts after it in the new thread.

The poster was also placed on pre-moderation because it looked like a blatant attempt to test the no politics rule.

I'm not joking about the politics ban.

If people want to be placed on pre-moderation, it's easier to just PM me and ask. But posting politics is asking me to do that.

Accidental goofs will be assessed on a case by case basis, but deliberate posts will get the poster placed on pre-moderation until such time as they demonstrate they won't break the rules.

Pre-moderation means posts are held unseen by the forum until I get a chance to view them. If acceptable, the post will be made public. If unacceptable, it won't.

Yep, welcome aboard. Good to see another SF author ;-)

Especially one who is a GIANT FAN of yWriter, right?

Thanks for the welcome. I appreciate it.

Thanks, everyone.
