Hi

TLDR: Hi
The forum thread is a welcoming conversation for a new member, willowtigger, who has joined a relatively new forum. Several users, including Catsmother, Kivessin, marti, Naiwen, and others, greet willowtigger warmly. Willowtigger expresses concerns about being accepted, referencing past negative experiences on other forums where they felt unwelcome or were heavily moderated, a situation they refer to as "forum jail." Catsmother reassures willowtigger that the forum is more lenient and that such moderation practices (like having posts pre-approved) are not common there. The thread is supportive and encourages willowtigger to participate freely without fear of excessive moderation.

Oh right, so you mean having your account placed in Moderation so the staff have to approve your posts? Never had to do that so I am sure you will be fine :)
