So what is the figure, how many posts are needed before a poster comes off moderation? I seem to have been posting for ages but still on moderation.
When I joined, I was told the number is around 35 to 40. Nevertheless, it's not automatic. As Don notes above, at that point, you can simply post to a moderator's wall and ask to be taken off moderation. That's what I had to do. I had over 40 posts and hadn't been taken off moderation.
