Hello! I posted in the forums for the first time earlier today, but I was dismayed when I did not see my new post anywhere. I didn't know whether my post was awaiting moderation or my work had been lost. I searched the forum guidelines to determine whether posts from new members are moderated, but I found no such policy statement.
The unsettling question "What happened to my post?" causes needless angst over the possibility of lost work. This nagging uncertainty is probably responsible for a lot of duplicate posts, too. I have two suggestions to remedy both problems:
- Can Symantec please update the forum guidelines with a clear and conspicuous policy statement for new members?
- Can the forum software be modified to display this policy to new members when they post for the very first time?
These changes would substantially improve the quality of the user experience for new members.
Thank you for considering my suggestions.
All the best,
Fred Chapman
