It is hidden from normal members. Only staff can see it

When you first join forums, for spambot protection, your posts have to be approved by moderators until you hit x amount of messages, sorry about it I know its annoying but at least spambots messages can't be seen by players this way :3

Welcome to forums btw ^^

But why is that needed? To check if it's an "no-swear" message or something?

I believe the x amount of messaegs is 25 messages

Chibi said because of spambots

To avoid spambots, they are scripted to post links which can harm your computer and stuff like that, and they only post once - three times so it avoids it

^ What Chibi said. :3
