Food & Cooking

Due to the nature of this forum software, posts may be held for moderation.  If you are new here you may not see your post until a moderator sees and approves your post.  This is simply because Cheftalk gets a lot of SPAM.  How much?  Somewhere in the ratio of ten SPAM posts to one legitimate posts.  We're sorry about the inconvenience.  Believe us, we do not like it either.  So what does this mean for you?

 If you have a pressing need or question, it may not be addressed for a while.  You can avoid the SPAM catcher by not adding links, using proper grammar, and not posting photos.  Still there is a chance that your post will be held for moderation, in which case, the only recourse you have is to sit and wait while your soup is too salty.

You can also avoid the need help now blues by participating in cheftalk.  This way the system will start to recognize you as a trusted user.  This may take a few posts.  You can hasten the process by sending me, (kuan) or Phatch, or one of the other mods a message asking us to manually approve you as a trusted user.  This way you won't have to wait until a moderator approves your post.

With that in mind, good luck and happy cooking!
