You can't post in the vendor connection thread because it's where they make announcements...was that where you saw that notice?

I have felt the same way, but I can imagine things going south quickly, with more moderation being required.

Most of those same vendors have dedicated channels on Discord, Telegram or PepChat, or some combination of those where you can feedback all you want. This is more of a source listing to see if they have anything that interests you without wading through all of the noise.

Exactly. Those college-aged Asian girls are too busy texting their friends to keep track of multiple forums 
Going to disagree on that. A lot of people don't have or use Discord or Telegram and this is a good place for them to be able to either ask questions or to raise concerns publicly that others could be interested in. I don't see vendors being able to post advertisements saying whatever they want without any commentary from users to be a good thing.
If your post has good content and/or merit you can post it anywhere and get interaction.
The reason for the limitation is for people (not NECESSARILY you) that think their opinion is more important than others and would disrupt the (non-accredited) vendor channel that is non editorial and strictly informational.

“new users”‘are having their messages moderated as a spam control measure. It was getting really bad, dozens of gummy spam posts every night, by users creating accounts and then posting immediately.
Anyhow, the system considers a user “new” based on an algorithm, largely around their post count over a certain period of time. When someone is clearly a human posting in good faith (which you are of course) I try to go in an manually switch off the moderation for them, but it’s a bit of a tedious process so sometimes I’m lazy about. Also, if you lurk more than post for a while it might switch you back to moderated. I’ve switched it off for you so you should be good to post without moderation now.
This is all unrelated to users being unable to post in the vendor area, which is a separate thing and by design.
Define "normal visitors." Maybe the algorithm can't figure which of us are normal.
I know how the algorithm feels.
I'm grateful that I don't have to filter through twelve volleys of back-and-forth queries with a vendor with regard to how can I order, which batch is it, I ordered five days ago and haven't received the package yet, does it ship from the US, what if it doesn't clear Customs, will it ship frozen with icebergs in the box, does a kit includes hypodermic needles, can you provide a fraudulent CoA, do you also sell rhinestone-spangled pens, is your v.ail of triz/semi/reti/cargi/obetrol compatible with my Sexy Pineapple Diet?????????
