Since when did we need approval on posts to this community forum?

So, I've been a community member since 2015, and although I may only post a few times per month (if that), I just got this message:

When did this horsepucky start?  Active members with around 8 years of posting now need their posts to be moderated/approved????

Hi @xiaix ,

 This is happening as in past months we have seen a lot of junk and unwanted contents whihc were nowhere related to ServiceNow which included Advertisements as well. So to keep the community clean place , this approval process is in place.

Hi @xiaix ,

It's absolute crap SN decided to go this route.  The absolute one thing I loved the most about these community forums was the instant posting & answering of questions.  Now that's all gone to pot.  It took 4 hours!!! for this question to even get posted!  Imagine how frustrating this!  What SN should do is NOT moderate users such as yourself and me who have a proven track record of being legit posters.  Heck, make it so that anyone with 1k points or more can subvert moderation.  This new system will drive the majority of us completely away and/or create our own version of the forums with logical moderation methods.  To blanket moderate EVERYTHING is not smart.  No really, let me tell you how I feel 😛

Hi @xiaix ,

Yes, There is delay in getting response with this new approval process. Resolution gets delay. ServiceNow should consider users like MVP, Raising start, features achievers  to NOT moderate their response and solutions. It ServiceNow conduct survey to take more inputs approving this approval, it  help community reducing delay in getting resolution
