Newcomer / Intro Newcomer "approved post" status

Hi there. I'm running an expedition in support of the DSSA. The advice I was given was to make a post in the Exploration section of the official forums. Unfortunately, I need to edit the main post as details are firmed up. However, every time I do, the post disappears awaiting approval. The last time this happened, it was down for three hours. This is a problem because I'm trying to build up interest by linking to that post in various places, but when people click on it they're just getting a dead link. I totally understand and support the reasons why a forum would need to moderate a person's first view posts, but I was wondering if there was anything I could do to get approved status more quickly. Thanks!
 
Thank you. I made another post in general and that seems to have cleared me. One other question. Why am I getting the weird doubling icon next to my thread. It's the second thread (currently) in exploration about 'trithounds': https://forums.frontier.co.uk/forums/elite-dangerous-exploration/ My avatar icon appears twice next to the thread instead of just once.

I don't see anything wrong. Maybe some cashing shenanigans your browser is pulling off. Try pressing CTRL+F5
 
Well technically it is. The big one for topic creator, and the small one that displays when you have posted in that thread. Since you cannot create a new thread without posting in it as well you get both :)
 
Weirdly, they are now requiring approval for my edits again. I must have behaved suspiciously?
