I understand of the havoc of bad words, but about when you don’t need approval anymore to be respectful or helpful. When is that?

I understand that, but what about people, who have a regular trust level? Because there are so many members, surely you have it automated or have no moderator for a high enough trust level.  
Apologizes if I am going too far.

You’re not going too far at all! We moderate all messages for users of all trust levels (except moderators). We don’t currently have any plans to change that policy.

Womp womp. I would love to have a higher trust level cause then I could post instantly and get my questions answered! Then again, one trusted person gets hacked and then the whole site gets spammed to oblivion… yeah, maybe not the best idea lol

Higher trust level achieved 🕶  
That post got approved practically instantly!  
Too bad it only works when the mods are awake 😔

We love you mods 🫶
