Posts



A Post is any message you see anywhere on the MBs made by a user, and often a moderator. 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, although mods only reject posts with inappropriate language on them. There are now over 1,436,000 posts on the LEGO Message Boards. The user with the most total posts ever is Rock-o-Ages (43,400+). You can see how many posts a user has by finding a post by them and looking below their avatars. If you pass a certain amount of users, you will earn studs.

Moderation
All posts are approved by Moderators before they are visible to other users. Sometimes moderation can take up to a couple of days as is the case during weekends; other times, a post can get approved in a matter of seconds. This occurs mostly in Mod Parties.

In a few cases in the past, some forums have had a bug where there was no moderation in them, seen in the Delete Me Glitch and the Exo-Force Glitch. Those bugs have since been fixed, and no one knows how or why they happened. A Double-Post Glitch also occurs at times.

Moderation usually takes several hours or a day (Unless Mod Parties are underway), although the posts in the LEGO Universe forum always get moderated much faster. Now, in 2012, a new Moderation Team was announced, and Keighlian has promised faster moderation throught all the Forums.

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 or spammy posts to Moderators, and why the post should be removed, so the Mods can remove it. This creates a very safe and neat Message Boards for LEGO.com.
