Getting trusted/verified

Hey, so it appears you have to be trusted/verified for your posts and comments to not go through a sometimes rather long approval process. How does one go about being trusted/approved on this site to not have to go through this?

@Cloudz#99427 I approved all your posts :slight_smile:

After a certain, undefined time and also influenced by the reputation and upvotes your user account collects we will approve you so that your posts are going through directly. You’re pretty new so it might take some time still.

Sorry for the inconvenience but we have to do that to filter trolls out who are posting legitimate businesses and persons instead of scammers.

So stay active, post good content and after a while we will approve you :slight_smile:

It’s all good. Love your videos by the way @NeeP !

I think I used to be approved then lost that (I assume when lots of people were spamming so everyone got demoted pending approval).

I too have been on approval for months it seems yet I have never posted any spam / legit businesses.

Hi Neep, you and Jim Browning are my favorites here. I decided to join here so I can hopefully interact with you both!

I just want to ask how long it usually takes to approve? I made 2 posts about a type of scam that I encountered 2 months ago and a list of website and numbers of tech support scams I found on Google. Just wondering how long the process usually takes.

Thank you!

@staciejaxx#156683 Usually it shouldn’t take longer than 10h, much faster depending on how many mods are online and in which time it has been posted. You mean to say your post is stuck in approval queue since 2 months? :open_mouth: If you have a link to your thread/post, link it here or send me via email to [email protected] or [email protected] and I’ll check get it approved :slight_smile:

@NeeP#156686 i think he means ,he has been posting legit content for 2 months

@NeeP#156686 Oh, I got a reply. Thank you. That made my day!

And no, not really. I think at the time of writing, I was waiting for around 12 hours or something. Not really something I would complain about but was just wondering how long the process took in effect.

I think they are approved now, though.

Thank you so very much!

Perhaps I can be of assistance sometimes. I happen to work as an SEO/PPC specialist. I would be happy to help in any way I can in my spare time. Just putting it out there! :)

I’m new to this forums site. I have done some scambaiting before just for laughs.

I have a post as well that needs to be approved.
