Members who have had repeated rejected posts or other violations of our Terms of Service Agreement and Forum Courtesies may be placed on Moderated Status.
A member on moderated status is able to continue to post within our community; however, her posts will not display to the general membership until they have been approved by a member of our Moderator/Administrator team. Moderated members do not have access to private forums.Member moderation is handled on a case-by-case basis; if a member demonstrates a genuine desire to actively contribute to our community in a positive manner, she can submit a request to Forum Administration and the Administrator team will consider her request to remove the moderated status. You can initiate such a Conversation by selecting the "Start Conversation" link on the Forum Administrator Profile. During our review, we’ll consider the member’s history and the circumstances which led up to her moderation, as well as subsequent posts. At such a time as the moderation status is removed, a member’s signature and avatar will again display. You may also request that your private forum privileges be restored at that time.
