Posts

A Post is any message you see any were on the MBs posted by a user. A topic is considered a post, and is required to make more posts. You can post as many times as you want in a topic, but it may get rejected if it's SPAM. There are now over 1,100,000 posts on the LEGO Message Boards. The user with the most total posts ever is Rock-o-Ages (35,600+). You can see how many posts a user has by finding a post by them and looking below their avatars.

Moderation
All posts have to be approved by moderators before they are visible to other users. Sometimes moderation can take up to a couple of days; other times, a post can get approved in a matter of seconds. Moderation usually takes several hours or a day, though. Sometimes a bad post can accidentally get through moderation. For this reason, there is a "Report" button next to the post so users can point out bad posts to moderators, and why the post should be removed.
