Hello Fieldbus User Network Members,

Due to the increase in spam posting to this forum, we have implemented a new user moderation policy.

Effectively immediately, your first "post" to this open group will be placed in a moderation queue. This queue is monitored by Fieldbus Staff and select moderators.

After the post has been reviewed and deemed within the scope for the group, the post will be authorized.

After your first approval, all future postings will be unmoderated. The system updates your permissions approximately every hour, so you may need to wait at least one hour after the approval of your first post before your account is upgraded to unmoderated.

If you have an existing account, and you already have more than one post registered, then you account is already set to unmoderated.

I hope this new policy brings a good balance between an open forum and preventing spambots from plaguing the forum with advertisements.

Best regards,
Stephen
