Suggestion: opt-in moderation review before a post goes public

I am unable to reliably determine what content the mods do and do not allow on the Boards. I would like it if I could have my posts initially hidden by default until mods review my content and approve acceptable posts. I'd rather have my posts delayed by a few days than learn that one of my posts has so horribly offended someone that it had to be deleted, or wait three hours in Discord to ask a mod if my intended post will be acceptable (which I have done).

I don't think it is possible for posts to be delayed for specific users, although I could be wrong on this. The problem with this is that there would be delays with posts making it to the Boards. Although it may not affect you, this could affect others wanting immediate feedback. There are exceptions to this of course (Gameplay+). Generally, if your post does not break any of the Universal Rules, it should be fine.

If a post seems to tip between breaking the rules and not, they are brought up with other Moderators/Board-Specific Specialists before being potentially removed. Moderators should not be removing posts because they are offended, it should only happen if you broke a specific rule listed in the rulebook.

Frankly, the tech isn't there (it's everyone or no one for review-required posting) and the team isn't big enough even if it were. We're always happy to answer questions about any actions or removals though.
