how in the world do you post to a forum. Frustration has diminished my interest to post.
I have allowed this post in order to reply to it openly, so that others who may have the same question will see the reply and take heed. When you join The Pig Pen and log in for the first time, there is a welcome letter in your inbox. I just tried joining as a new member again myself to make sure that this system is still working, and found that indeed it is. That welcome letter says, among other things:
"Moderated" means that until a moderator views your post and approves it, you will not be able to see it. This is to avoid people attempting to circumvent the three-pieces-of-feedback rule with the quick cut-and-paste one liners that are endemic to other sites. The Pig Pen is a workshop and it is only successful if members understand the concept of give and take.
I hope this answers your question and relieves your frustration somewhat/ Admin

Quote:"New members posts will be moderated for a short while. You have to first leave three pieces of reasonable feedback on other people's poems before you can post your own work in the poetry forums."
