"Awaiting Approval" indicator next to posts

I notice that when I ‘reply’ to posts, my reply initially shows as “awaiting approval”. I’m a new member of BobRTC so I realize new members are most likely scrutined more so compared to tenured members. What is the “probationary period” new members go through? Is it when the “reputation score” reaches a certain threshold?

Thanks

@MarlboroMan2710#110975 Any user you see on this website which doesn’t have the ‘verified’ role (indicated by a check mark) or above, has to have their posts manually approved by a staff member. So, like this one, it has been in our review queue for 4 hours… now, I know that time is not ideal, and it isn’t for us either. Usually, they will visible to the public within 30 minutes, but sometimes that isn’t achieved. Unfortunately, there is no automatic removal of this restriction, but with enough quality posts and time on the website, you can earn the verified role too.

Thank you.
