Welcome to everyone!

Hello everyone!

I would like to welcome all the new posters to the forum!

If you have posted and your post isn't scene by you right away, I don't want you to think you did something wrong! I have a program that scans each post made especially by new posters to help prevent spam. It scans for certain keywords, to help stop the spammers. I have to manually scan over the posts and approve them to be sure they aren't spam. Because of this it might take me 12-24 hours sometimes due to my job.

If you have any questions please feel free to send me a private message!

Thumbs up

That's great news, Chris! Yes, we certainly do want new members to post in threads of their choice...but we don't want new members (or old members) whose sole purpose is to post scam messages. I've noticed that nearly all scam messages were made during a member's first post, so it makes sense to run those posts through a more rigid "filter" before they're viewed.

Unfortunately for the large majority of new members, they have to go through that added hurdle to begin enjoying gunandgame.com. But...hang in there because the benefits of being patient are well worth the wait.

Does this mean that all posts from new posters are subject to approval, or only ones with a higher spam suspicion?

Titles are what people see as the subject line of the post.

Tags are words that will allow people to search for the post with those as "keywords".

Hi everyone Jax from Missouri checking in. Looking forward to some good info and and thoughts from all you crazee people. I am currently getting to know and love the newest addition to my CCW aresenol. The beautiful Kahr PM series 9mm. It will lovingly take it's place along with a Chiefs .38 special, Ruger .22, and Walther P22. IF you have any (intelligent) thoughts on women who carry I would love to hear them. Question... anyone else (besides me) using the new expanding full metal jacket ammo?
