Hey, guys.  I'm trying to remain patient, but it's proving very difficult. I made about ten or fifteen posts last night, into all of which I put a great deal of thought, but only four of which were given the go as to moderation. The remaining six to nine were by no means divisive or against the rules, and in fact were quite substantive. For example, one of my phantom posts pointed out the original scientific source to a pop media article. Or are links to PLoS Genetics disallowed?  Like I said, I'm doing my best to keep patient, but I can't help but feel very bitter. I'm trying to take an active part in relevant conversation, contributing to this board, and my efforts are dismissed with the proverbial wave of the hand.  What gives? They'll probably show up still. When you are a user who is still under moderation it can take a while for the mods to get around to some of your posts. It used to tick me off when I first registered too, but then they'd end up showing up after a couple days. Just take a chill pill :cool:
