47 has been a magic number for some things on CD. I don't know if that's changing to 51 now or not.

1) 1000 Reputation Points
2) 47 Days Registered
3) 15 Posts [which would be scanned by Akismet]

I now have 45 (this is 46) posts and I still can't post links without moderator approval. I guess I'll have to wait until I have been registered for 47 days.

Thanks everyone for your help!

The moderation is actually to aid you and your fellow list members. I approve maybe 2 or 3 links per week from new members. On a bad day, I might delete twice that many spam posts. The filter means you never see most of them.
