The humblest of apologies. The first posts by a new user need approval to weed out the spammers (of which there are many). Once you've been determined to be a real cave enthusiast and a few of your posts approved, you're good to go and the approvals are no longer needed.
It's true that Cave Chat is not quite so active as it used to be as other social media platforms have grown. Still, some of us think Cave Chat has a very important place. Some of the moderators don't visit here as often as they used to, though. Personally, I was on a business + work trip for over a week, then came back with a nasty cold. So I wasn't so good about checking in on Cave Chat.
Please know you're very welcome here and hopefully this unfortunate delay hasn't soured you on us.
