What's all this with the moderation business? It was not in the contract for which I signed up!!

How long does it take to get some service around here?

What test must one pass to be de-moderated? Whose Intelligence must I be juxtaposed against before all this happens?

It is 23:32 GMT.

    It says nothing about Moderation, but mabye I can live with it until we become familiar!

      The terms that you agreed to when registering include these statements:

      If you find any posts in these Forums to be offensive or objectionable, please contact us via email to the address offered as a contact for the Forums in question. If we determine that removal of a post or posts is necessary, we will make reasonable efforts to do so in a timely manner.

      (...)

      You will, if asked by a representative of the Forums, cease posting any content, and/or links to content, deemed offensive, objectionable, or in poor taste by the staff of the Forums.

      At all times, you remain solely responsible for anything found within your posts and agree to indemnify and hold Internet.com and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, co-branders or other partners, and employees, harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of any material you submit, post to or transmit through the Forums, your use of the Forums, your connection to the Forums, your violation of the AUP, legal notice, or privacy policy, or your violation of the rights of another.

      These Forums do not and cannot review all of the content of every message posted and do not accept responsibility for the contents of any messages. We reserve the right to delete any message and/or restrict posting rights in our Forums for any reason whatsoever. Should you continue to post messages that violate the rules of the Forums, your account may be terminated, your access to the Forums may be banned, and your service provider(s) may be contacted about your behavior. Furthermore, we expressly reserve our rights under the law to take any other actions we deem necessary.

      Clearly, the staff of PHPBuilder perform moderation of forum posts. It so happens that they also delegate this duty to certain non-staff volunteers, i.e., the moderators of this message board.

      Anyway, don't worry about this. Just participate and contribute as a good member and you'll be okay. Welcome! 🙂

        Sorry; I meant this FAQ. I think the one in the menu bar is a generic vBulletin-made jobbie, judging by phrases such as "if your administrator", and perhaps should be replaced with something more apropos and based on a distillation of the forums' individual FAQs.
