Why do my posts seem to require moderator approval?

Well I made several posts today as you can see, and they had an orange banner above them stating they were waiting for approval and would be visible once approved.

They're clearly all approved now but its happened a couple of times now, and I wondered if it was just me or whether it was something that happened to all noobs.

I wasn't aware of your situation, but screening of initial posts is pretty much standard on every forum to weed out trolls and agitators.
It's part of the general T&Qs which you signed up to when you first registered on SD so perhaps shouldn't come as a surprise.
