Have I gone senile or was their a site reviews sub-section in the past? Possibly just blind and can't see it now...

There appears to be an issue with the vpn you used when registering, im having to approve everything you do as im getting this message:
Hopefully @proffrink can sort the issue ?

I don’t use a vpn, but I live rural and use 5g broadband. I have to occasionally verify I’m not a robot to even open google sometimes . I wonder if that could be causing an issue here.

Sorry that every post I make has to be approved… hopefully it can be fixed!

Problem is your vpn, its bouncing around to different locations every time you use the forum, one minute your in Hungary, the next its Albania, unfortunately the forum software does t like it & blocks your posts & pm's, I had to approve your post above.
Not sure what the best solution is ?, @proffrink might know.

I noted you said you use 5G to connect? It could actually be your 5G connection causing it.

A lot of mobile providers tend route traffic through shared IP addresses and international datacentres, and the IP you get can change all the time. If you happen to get one with a poor reputation (because someone else has abused it in the past), some forums will automatically be more suspicious of your posts.

A lot of forum anti-spam systems look at things like IP reputation as well as what you're posting, so even if you've done nothing wrong it can still end up flagging your posts.

One thing I'd try is using a VPN and setting it to a UK server. If your posts suddenly stop getting flagged, then you've pretty much confirmed it's your mobile IP that's the issue rather than your account.

Not saying this is definitely the cause, but it's certainly something I'd test.

Proton VPN is great btw, you can use it for free too but you dont get to pick a server, still worth installing, connecting to it and trying again and see if it changes anything

I have had trouble loading this place over 5g, intermittent though.

Good explanation for why that's a thing thanks
