    I always get this message when posting anything anywhere on this site:
    This message is awaiting moderator approval, and is invisible to normal visitors.

    I know it's to prevent spam because Bukkit.org was attacked by spam bots and such back in 2012, but when does it end for people who are not spam bots?

    Do a moderator have to manually remove it or does it go away after a set period of time?
    I've been on Bukkit.org for 9 days, so it's weird that it lasts so long.

    @sexypotatofish I think you have to have 20 posts and a week of time on Bukkit, or 20 posts in a week, or a week after 20 posts. Something to do with 20 posts and a week :p

    @sexypotatofish It goes away on its own when you stay active, I don't know the exact numbers though.
    And spam bots are still here.

    Spam bots aren't a problem anymore because of the approval system, though, right?

    We find them before the post itself is visible, but they can still take loads of time to deal with.

    They can't publicly post posts and you can just ban them with a few clicks, so I don't see how it'd be a hassle unless you'd get tons of spam bots at once.
