Note that I posted that all new user: For Newly Registered Members - MUST READ INSTRUCTIONS!
Other than shouting it out, I don't know how to get people to follow instructions as few think they apply to them.

Read the stuff you were supposed to read when you registered.
I actually had the same question myself, just a few moments ago, but I found the documentation -- most notably, the portion regarding "post approvals" for new users -- so all my confusion was dissolved and dissipated!
On another note, though, I completely understand where you're coming from and respect your position here, largely because of spending the more boring, mundane "vanilla" part of my life as a university instructor in the STEM fields. ("STEM" = science, technology, engineering, and math) Because the very subject matter is inherently focused, specific, and detail-oriented -- I often provide students with instructions and documentation that explains things completely and graphically, only to groan in despair every time I get asked something that was already covered in the provided written material --
LOL! You have my sympathies and my support, for sure!
